Hello, i have a 0-80 screw described with round head shown in the link below.

When i entered the content center to find such screw i could find no UNF 0-80 names.

its a standart name of a screw why its not in the content center?

Hi @yefimv

UNF #0 - 80 is a major diameter and thread type. It is only a partial description of the screw and this is only visible within the table family when you go to make a selection. See link here.

Content center screws are categorized by shape then by head type, standards etc. If you allready have the screw in hand work backwards to the source carton to get a full description of the product. Then you should be able to find a similar product in the content center. If you know the standard the screw is manufactured under that will help and you csn gae a filter to perge metric threads etc.

This appears to be a pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive. #0-80UNF is an ANSI specification, so you can filter your Content Library to show just ANSI fasteners, and then you can find "Cross Recessed Pan Head Machine Screw - Type I - Inch", as well as Type IA and Type II. I've forgotten what the difference is between the three different types (drive detail, I think), but they all have #0 UNF choices.
