Value Collection R63088444 Machine Screw 2-56 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63088444 is a 2-56 x 1/4-inch round head slotted machine screw manufactured in brass with a bright, uncoated finish. It follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards and measures 1/4 inch under the head. The round head profile and slotted drive make it compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. This fastener is sized for light-duty mechanical assemblies and is commonly used in electrical enclosures, control panels, terminal blocks, and small equipment housings. Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on precision or light-gauge hardware.

This screw is suited for applications requiring a corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic fastener in compact assemblies. Brass construction makes it a practical choice in environments where steel fasteners may corrode or where magnetic interference must be avoided. Typical uses include instrument panels, low-voltage control boards, junction boxes, and electronic enclosures across residential and light commercial trade work. The 2-56 thread size targets the smallest standard UNC thread designation, making it appropriate for fine-pitch, close-tolerance fastening tasks.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread standard, 1/4-inch length under head
• Round head profile for a low, finished appearance on panel surfaces
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating buildup to affect thread fit
• No washer — installs directly against mating surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 2-56 machine screw for use in any application requiring a 2-56 thread form, round head, and slotted drive in a brass, uncoated finish.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width to avoid cam-out and head damage. De-energize any electrical panel or control board before driving or removing fasteners in live assemblies. Do not overtighten brass screws into tapped holes — brass is softer than steel and susceptible to thread stripping under excess torque. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures.
