Value Collection VT1386PS M2.6x0.4 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1386PS is an M2.6x0.4 pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish. Conforming to DIN 85 and ISO 1580 standards, this fastener features a low-profile pan head and is measured 4mm under the head. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose applications. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100, this screw is suited for assembly lines, equipment maintenance, and light mechanical fabrication where a metric slotted fastener is specified.

This screw is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a metric M2.6 thread pitch of 0.4mm. Common applications include small appliance assembly, instrument enclosures, electrical panel components, and general sheet metal or plastic housing fastening. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider surface area than a flat head, making it appropriate for softer substrate materials. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and light industrial trades commonly stock this fastener size for panel and bracket work.

Key Features

• M2.6x0.4 metric thread, 4mm length under head per DIN 85 and ISO 1580
• Grade 4.8 steel construction for reliable tensile strength in light-duty applications
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments
• Pan head profile with slotted drive for use with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• No washer included; length measurement taken from under the head
• Sold in multiples of 100 per order for bulk assembly or maintenance stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric machine screw for use in assemblies requiring an M2.6x0.4 thread per DIN 85 or ISO 1580 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Verify thread engagement depth in the mating part before tightening to prevent stripping the Grade 4.8 threads. Do not use in outdoor or high-moisture environments without additional corrosion protection beyond the zinc finish. Power down any equipment and follow applicable electrical or mechanical lockout procedures before replacing fasteners in live assemblies.
