Value Collection VT1301PS M3x0.5 Cheese Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1301PS is a metric machine screw with a cheese head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish. The cheese head profile offers a low-profile cylindrical form suited for close-clearance assemblies. At M3x0.5 thread pitch and 50 mm length under head, this fastener is sized for light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance. It conforms to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 dimensional standards, making it a reliable choice for applications where interchangeable metric fasteners are required. These screws ship in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

This fastener is used in general mechanical assembly, panel fabrication, electronics enclosures, light equipment manufacturing, and maintenance applications where a slotted metric machine screw is specified. The M3x0.5 thread size is common in instrumentation, HVAC control panel assemblies, and small mechanical housings. It is installed without a washer, per the without-washer spec, and the length measurement is taken from under the head. Suitable for any application requiring a DIN 84 or ISO 1207 compliant cheese head screw in zinc-plated steel.

Key Features

• Grade 4.8 steel construction meets DIN 84 and ISO 1207 dimensional standards
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion protection for indoor and dry-environment use
• Sold in multiples of 100 pieces to support production and service inventory needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 84 and ISO 1207 compliant metric fastener suitable for any application specifying an M3x0.5 cheese head slotted machine screw in zinc-plated Grade 4.8 steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver matched to the head slot width. Ensure the mating thread in the receiving component is tapped to M3x0.5 specification before driving. Do not overtorque; Grade 4.8 fasteners have lower proof load ratings than Grade 8.8 or higher, and the small M3 diameter is susceptible to head damage if excess force is applied. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards for thread engagement depth.
