Value Collection VT1285PS M2x0.4 Cheese Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1285PS is an M2x0.4 cheese head slotted machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. Conforming to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards, this metric fastener is suited for precision assembly, light fabrication, and equipment maintenance applications. The cheese head profile provides a low-profile, cylindrical head with a flat bearing surface, and the slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers. Material grade 4.8 indicates a low-carbon steel construction with moderate tensile strength appropriate for general-purpose mechanical fastening. This item is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units and is commonly specified by maintenance technicians, assembly personnel, and field service professionals working with metric hardware.

This fastener is used in applications requiring a compact head diameter and a straight-slot drive interface. Common installation scenarios include panel assembly, instrument mounting, light-duty mechanical enclosures, and equipment repair where M2 thread sizing is specified. The 10mm length under head makes it suitable for fastening thin to medium-thickness components. Trade professionals working on HVAC controls, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixtures frequently stock M2 metric screws to meet metric fastener specifications on imported or OEM equipment.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric machine screw for use in any application specifying an M2x0.4 cheese head slotted fastener per DIN 84 or ISO 1207.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the M2 slotted head. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is M2x0.4 metric thread before driving the fastener to avoid thread damage. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for grade 4.8 steel at M2 diameter, as small-diameter screws are susceptible to head damage or shank fracture if over-torqued. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before accessing internal fasteners.
