Value Collection VT1297PS M3 X 0.5 X 35mm Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1297PS is an M3 x 0.5 x 35mm zinc plated cheese head machine screw sold in a minimum quantity of 100 per order. The cheese head profile delivers a low-profile cylindrical head with a flat top and straight sides, providing a larger bearing surface than a pan head without the height of a button head. The M3 thread pitch of 0.5mm and 35mm body length make this fastener suitable for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a standard metric thread fit is required. Zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments.

This machine screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, panel mounting, and general fabrication work where M3 metric fasteners are specified. The cheese head drive style is commonly used in applications where clearance above the fastener head is limited or where a flush, reclined look is preferred. Suitable for use in shop fabrication, panel assembly, and similar trade applications requiring consistent metric hardware in volume quantities.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.5 thread specification for standard metric fastener compatibility
• 35mm body length for medium-depth fastening applications
• Cheese head profile provides flat top, cylindrical sides, and broad bearing surface
• Zinc plating for corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments
• Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 for production and volume use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M3 x 0.5 metric machine screw suitable for use in any application specifying an M3 coarse-pitch cheese head fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general maintenance technicians, electricians, and fabricators using standard metric hand tools or power drivers with the appropriate bit for the head drive type. Verify thread engagement depth before final torque to avoid stripping the M3 thread in softer base materials. Use the correct tap size for the receiving material when threading into metal stock. Avoid cross-threading by starting fasteners by hand before applying powered drive.
