Value Collection SPTCIF0-600180-100BX 6-32 Unc Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF0-600180-100BX is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating mating threads in pre-drilled or punched holes in metal, plastic, and similar materials. It features a pan head profile with a slotted drive and a Type F point, which has a blunt end with cutting threads that remove material as the fastener is driven. The screw measures 3/16 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general-purpose applications. This box contains 100 screws.

These thread cutting screws are suited for light-duty assembly work in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and sheet metal fabrication where a tapped hole is not practical. The 6-32 UNC thread size is a common standard in instrument and control panel assembly. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making them practical for field service and shop environments alike. They are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers during equipment assembly and service.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads directly into the base material, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light-duty fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection in indoor environments
• Sold in a box of 100 to support production and service inventory needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in thin metal panels, plastic housings, and similar substrates commonly found in electrical and HVAC equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or sheet metal fabricator typically installs these fasteners during equipment assembly or field service. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before accessing internal panels or enclosures. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid stripping the slotted drive. Pre-drill or punch holes to the correct minor diameter for the 6-32 thread to allow the Type F point to engage properly without splitting the base material.
