High-quality Phillips pan head machine screws. Zinc plated carbon steel, DIN 7985 compliant. Wide range: M3 to M12. Custom lengths available. For electronics, machinery & general assembly. No washers included.
Achieve reliable fastening with our versatile **Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws**. Featuring a **low-profile, slightly rounded head** (DIN 7985 standard) and a **Phillips drive (PH)**, these screws offer excellent grip and torque transfer for assembling components with pre-tapped holes or nuts. Manufactured from durable carbon steel with zinc plating for corrosion resistance, they are ideal for **electronics, machinery, automotive interiors, and general industrial assembly**. *Note: Screws only - no washers or nuts included.

Primary Uses & Applications:
* Electronics enclosure assembly (PCBs, chassis, covers).
* Machinery & equipment panel fastening.
* Automotive interior trim & components.
* Furniture assembly (metal-to-metal joints).
* HVAC systems & ductwork.
* Appliance manufacturing.
* General maintenance & repair.
* Joining components using **nuts** (e.g., hex nuts, nyloc nuts) or **tapped holes**.
Surface Treatment/Finishes:
* **Zinc Plating (Yellow Chromate - Zn+Y):** Most common. Offers good corrosion resistance for indoor and moderate environments. Yellow color aids identification. RoHS compliant.
* **Zinc Plating (Clear/White/Black Chromate):** Alternatives for different aesthetics or slightly varied corrosion resistance.
* **Black Oxide:** Provides a dark finish, mild corrosion resistance, and lubricity. Reduces glare.
How to Use:
1. **Prepare:** Ensure female threads (nut or tapped hole) are clean, undamaged, and compatible with the screw thread (e.g., M4 screw needs M4 nut/hole).
2. **Align:** Position components to be joined.
3. **Insert Screw:** Place screw through clearance hole in top component.
4. **Drive:** Select the **correct size Phillips screwdriver or bit** (e.g., PH2 for M5/M6). Apply firm pressure and drive clockwise. The Phillips drive allows moderate torque transfer.
5. **Tighten:** Tighten until the pan head seats firmly against the top component. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damaging the Phillips recess or stripping threads.
6. **Washer Note:** If vibration resistance or load distribution is needed, **add a separate flat washer or spring washer** under the screw head before installation.
