Slotted pan head screws are easy to use. They have a flat, slightly rounded head with a straight slot that can be screwed in with a regular flat head screwdriver. The screws do not stick out, giving them a nice overall appearance. When tightened, they are flush with the surface of the object they are connected to, so they will not snag on other things or cause damage to other items.
Slotted pan head screws can be made of stainless steel, carbon steel or brass as required. They are available in sizes and shapes that meet ISO 1580 and DIN 7985 standards. The simple straight slot in the screw head allows any regular flat head screwdriver to be used to install the connection. They are often used in industries such as electronics, automotive and furniture manufacturing.
The wide part of the pan head evenly distributes pressure. When used on soft materials such as plastic or wood, they will not dig into or damage the surface.
The biggest advantage of slotted pan head screws is that they are easy to use and install. You only need an ordinary screwdriver and no complicated installation tools to tighten them. The flat head design of the screw head is different from other screws. It is not too protruding and is not easy to hook other objects or people. Therefore, it can be used in many places and will not protrude from the connected objects.
Unlike cross slot or Phillips screws, these slotted screws can be tightened with any ordinary flat head screwdriver.
Slotted pan head screws are suitable for assembling thin objects, such as metal plates or acrylic plates. The shape of the flat head can be flush with the surface of the connected objects after tightening, and will not protrude too much. The appearance is not obvious.
In humid environments, such as rain or near water, you can choose to choose anti-rust coatings such as galvanizing to protect slotted pan head screws from corrosion and rust.

Q: What materials are available for slotted pan head screws, and which is best for outdoor use?
A:Slotted pan head screws are usually made from a few main materials. You’ve got stainless steel (like grades A2 or A4), carbon steel (think grades 4.8 or 8.8), and brass.
In outdoor or damp places where rust is easy to occur, or in factories near the sea or with chemicals, you can choose A4 stainless steel, which contains 16% chromium and 2% molybdenum, which is more corrosion-resistant.You can also choose hot-dip galvanized carbon steel screws, which are cheaper and more corrosion-resistant.
Brass slotted pan head screws can be used on electrical equipment because they are non-magnetic and not affected by metal interference.
Stainless steel meets ISO 3506 and carbon steel meets ISO 898-1. We will conduct quality inspections before shipping and send out products that meet the standards. The slotted pan head screws produced in our factory are strong and durable.
