Description
Machine Screws Slotted Truss Zinc Plated 3/8-16 X 3 are precision-made fasteners designed for strong, reliable metal-to-metal connections. With a 3/8 inch diameter, 16 threads per inch (UNC), and a 3 inch length, these screws deliver sturdy holds in a range of applications where a flush, wide-bearing load distribution is essential.
The slotted drive provides compatibility with common hand and power screwdrivers, while the truss head offers a broad bearing surface to reduce surface dents and distribute clamp loads evenly across panels, brackets, and frames. Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for indoor metalwork and light-industrial environments.
