Value Collection VT1292PS M3x0.5 Cheese Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1292PS is an M3x0.5 cheese head slotted machine screw manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish. Conforming to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards, this fastener features a low-profile cylindrical head and a straight slot drive, making it well-suited for applications where head clearance is limited and a controlled clamping force is needed. The 10 mm length is measured under the head. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100, this screw is commonly stocked by maintenance shops, assembly operations, and trade contractors working with metric hardware.

This fastener is used in light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly applications across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The M3 thread diameter and 0.5 mm pitch make it a standard metric fastener for enclosure panels, instrument housings, small motor assemblies, and similar precision-fit applications. No integrated washer is included; a separate washer can be added at the installer's discretion. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and dry-environment use.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 84 and ISO 1207 metric machine screw for use in any M3x0.5 threaded application requiring a cheese head profile and slotted drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanics, electricians, or assembly technicians using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or panel before installing or removing fasteners. Do not overtighten; cheese head screws have a limited bearing surface, and excessive torque can strip the head or damage the threaded boss. Verify thread engagement depth in the mating component before final tightening.
