Value Collection SPTCIF0-600500-100BX 6-32 Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SPTCIF0-600500-100BX is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for secure, self-threading fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, sheet stock, and similar materials. The pan head profile provides a low-clearance bearing surface, while the slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. The Type F point features cutting threads that tap their own mating threads as the screw is driven, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, the screw resists corrosion in light-duty service environments. Each box contains 100 screws with an under-head length of 1/2 inch.

These screws are widely used in electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet assembly, light-gauge sheet metal panels, and control board mounting applications. The 6-32 UNC thread is a common size in electrical and electronic hardware, making this fastener a practical stock item for electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel fabricators working with thin ferrous substrates. The pan head and slotted drive combination is standard in OEM equipment assembly and field service repair work where flat-blade tools are readily available.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts its own mating threads in thin metal, no pre-tapping required
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for light-to-medium duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor service conditions
• Box of 100 screws for shop stock, service vans, and production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for use in thin sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge panel assemblies where a self-threading pan head screw with a Type F point is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or matching slotted bit. Ensure the receiving material is pre-drilled or punched to the correct pilot hole diameter for a 6-32 Type F thread cutting screw before driving. Do not overdrive — the pan head should seat flush without deforming the base material. Power down any electrical enclosure or equipment fully before installing or removing fasteners in live panels.
