RS PRO Pozidriv Pan Steel Machine Screws DIN 7985Z, M2x8mm

From the trusted RS PRO brand, these pan headed machine screws are ideal for use in electronic machinery. The high-quality machine screws are fully threaded and can be used in pre-tapped holes or used with conforming nuts and washers in through holes. The screws are bright zinc plated and offer a degree of environmental resistance, allowing them to be used in most indoor circumstances.

With a pozidriv recess, these pan head machine screws have been designed to guarantee ease of assembly.

Features & Benefits
• Plated zinc coating works as an effective barrier against the effects of wear, and helps prevent corrosion and abrasion
• Coating process doesn’t involve any toxic materials
• It is less expensive than zinc-nickel plating
• Highly extends the lifespan of steel products
• Moderate corrosion resistance
• Recyclable
• Non-Magnetic

Applications
Sometimes referred to as machine bolts, machine screws typically fully threaded screws that feature smaller than average thread sizes. Wherever precision and security is required in fixings and fasteners, these machine screws are ideal, and so are often used in machinery fastening applications.

PCB prototyping
Circuit board mounting
General maintenance and repair

What is the advantage of a Pozidriv screw?
A Pozidriv screw is an improvement on the crosshead screw, or Phillips screw. Like the crosshead, the Pozidriv screw naturally centers the torque when a Pozidrive screwdriver is applied, meaning there is less resistance and more control when screwing and unscrewing. To lessen the chance of the driver slipping from the screw head, known as cam out, the Pozidriv screw is preferable even to the Phillips screw.

What is the advantage of a pan head screw?
Pan head screws are different to countersunk screws in that they sit above the surface of the material. They can result in a more secure and accessible screw head, providing a smooth material surface isn’t a priority.

Note
Requires a Philips screwdriver
