Value Collection VT1294PS M3x0.5 Cheese Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1294PS is a metric machine screw with a cheese head and slotted drive, designed for general-purpose fastening in light machinery, enclosures, and assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish, this screw provides adequate tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty industrial applications. The M3x0.5 thread size and 16mm length under head make it suitable for securing thin panels, brackets, and components where a low-profile cylindrical head is required. It meets DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency and interchangeability with other metric fasteners in the same specification class.

This screw is used in light industrial assembly, electronic enclosures, instrument panels, and mechanical fabrication where metric fasteners are specified. The cheese head profile sits flush against flat surfaces without the clamping spread of a pan head, making it appropriate for countersunk-adjacent clearance holes and tight component stacking. The slotted drive is compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers and is common in applications where simple hand tools are preferred or where Phillips cam-out is a concern. This item is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric replacement or assembly fastener conforming to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 specifications for M3x0.5 cheese head slotted machine screws.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slotted drive without slipping to avoid cam-out damage to the head. Ensure mating threads in the receiving material are clean and properly tapped to M3x0.5 before driving. Do not exceed the mechanical limits of Grade 4.8 fasteners in high-tension or structural-load applications. Follow applicable assembly standards for torque and thread engagement depth when specified by the equipment manufacturer.
