Product Overview
This M3 short pan head screw is shown with a rounded cross-drive head, very short coarse-thread shank and blunt or chamfered end. Its geometry can suit compact prepared-hole assemblies, but the images do not establish material grade, coating specification or universal self-tapping performance.
For a B2B quotation, provide the mating material, prepared-hole diameter and depth, boss or sheet thickness, required engagement, head clearance, drawing or sample, finish, quantity and pack format. Test the confirmed screw in the real enclosure or plastic boss before bulk approval.
Procurement note: Specify the prepared hole, mating material, boss or sheet thickness, required engagement, head clearance, finish, quantity and packaging.

Applications
Electronics enclosure covers
Confirm sheet thickness, formed or threaded hole, head seating and internal clearance.
Cable clamps on plastic housings
Check boss material, pilot-hole diameter, boss depth, edge distance and clamp thickness.
Compact appliance subassemblies
Verify driver access and ensure the short shank provides the specified engagement without bottoming.
Counted small-fastener kits
Keep diameter, length, finish and label identification separated from similar screws.
Buyer Guide: How to Choose
Is the blunt end suitable for my application?
It depends on the prepared-hole geometry and mating material. Provide a drawing or sample and complete an assembly trial.
How should the short length be selected?
Confirm clamp or cover thickness, required engagement and available hole depth so the screw neither bottoms nor lacks engagement.
What pilot-hole information is required?
State hole diameter, depth, tolerance, material and whether the hole is molded, punched, formed or pre-threaded.
Can the thread geometry be customized?
Yes. Send the mating material, prepared hole, required pitch and approved sample for review.
Quality Control
Inspection scope should be agreed against the approved drawing, sample and purchase specification. For screws, the review focuses on dimensions, thread, drive fit, finish and assembly performance.
M3 diameter and short length
Check diameter, length datum and tolerances against the approved drawing or sample.
Coarse thread and lead
Review pitch, thread form, lead geometry and runout for the confirmed prepared hole.
Cross-drive engagement
Use the agreed driver or gauge to check recess fit, seating and tool access.
Head and finish appearance
Inspect head diameter, height, bearing face, visible coverage and color against the approved sample.
Prepared-hole trial and packing
Verify engagement, bottoming clearance, pack count, labels and carton identification as agreed.
If salt-spray, torque, pull-out or another performance test is required, include the test method and acceptance criteria in the RFQ for feasibility review.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this M3 short pan head screw pointed?
The product images show a blunt or chamfered end rather than a sharp point. Confirm lead geometry from the approved drawing or sample.
Can it form a thread in sheet metal or plastic?
Suitability depends on material, thickness, boss design and prepared hole. No universal self-tapping claim is assumed without a representative trial.
Can length and thread pitch be customized?
Yes. Provide the hole, mating material, target length and pitch. MOQ starts at 10,000 pcs per confirmed specification.
What finish is supplied?
A bright silver appearance is shown, but coating system, material and service environment must be confirmed for the order.
Can these screws be packed with cable clamps?
Yes. Confirm each component, quantity per kit, label, inner pack and carton requirement.
