RS PRO Pozidriv Pan Head Steel Machine Screw, M3 Thread, 10 mm Length, Bright Zinc Plated, DIN 7985 198-289

The RS PRO 198-289 is a high-quality Pozidriv Pan Head Machine Screw designed for robust and reliable fastening in a variety of industrial and commercial settings. This machine screw is engineered with a metric M3 thread and a full threaded shaft, providing consistent engagement when securing components in pre-tapped holes. Its 10 mm length is suitable for use in metalwork, electrical panel assemblies, and mechanical mounting applications where precise fastening is essential.

Constructed from steel, the screw is finished with a bright zinc plating that offers enhanced resistance to corrosion and rust. The passivated coating provides long-term durability in demanding environments, making it a competitive choice compared to stainless steel for applications where cost-effectiveness matters. The pan head profile delivers a flat bearing surface that remains above the workpiece, perfect for situations requiring a non-countersunk installation.

The Pozidriv drive system, featuring a cross recess with additional indentations for 8-point contact, allows superior engagement with Pozidriv screwdrivers and improved torque transfer. This reduces the risk of tool slippage and surface damage, allowing for secure tightening and simplified removal. Conforming to DIN 7985 standards, the screw is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring compatibility with standardized hardware systems used in industrial machinery, control panels, and equipment enclosures.

This screw is ideal for holding together parts in machinery, vehicle engines, electrical boards, and circuit board mounting, among other engineering and assembly applications. It does not tap its own thread but is intended for insertion into pre-drilled and tapped holes, often combined with a nut for through-hole joining where required.

Key use cases include industrial equipment fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, PCB prototyping, and general production line engineering. Its calibrated performance, affordable BZP steel construction, and Pozidriv head make it well-suited for maintenance, repair, and assembly operations.

Pozidriv pan head design, M3 thread, and 10 mm length support a wide range of mechanical assemblies. Bright zinc-plated steel construction for economical anti-corrosion protection and reliability. Complies with DIN 7985 standard, ensuring dimensional accuracy and standard fit.

Versatile for use in control panels, PCB mounting, automotive machinery, and onsite repairs. Easy to install and remove with Pozidriv driver tool, reducing cam-out and ejection risk.
