Small Parts Stainless Steel Machine Screws - Plain Finish, Pan Head, Phillips Drive, ASME B18.6.3 Compliant, 1/4" Length, Fully Threaded, #3-48 Threads (Pack of 100) for Electronics and Precision Assembly

Product Description

The stainless steel machine screw has a plain finish and a pan head with a Phillips drive, and meets American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME B18.6.3 specifications. Stainless steel resists corrosion and may be magnetic. The Phillips drive has an x-shaped slot that accepts a Phillips driver and is designed to allow the driver to slip out of the head to help prevent over-tightening and damage to the thread or fastener. The pan head has a flat top and short vertical sides with a rounded top edge. Machine screws are threaded fasteners that are typically used with nuts or drilled and tapped (threaded) holes. Machine screws are available with a variety of head shapes, which determine how the screw interacts with the mating surface, and drive styles, which determine the type of driver required to install and remove the screw.
