61340902 - ESAB Replacement Screw #10-24 x 1/2" Steel Zinc Plated

Technical Overview of the ESAB 61340902 Screw

The ESAB 61340902 is a precision-engineered machine screw designed for use within ESAB welding equipment assemblies. Identified by the nomenclature "SCR STLZPC 0.190-24X0.50", this fastener features a major diameter of 0.190 inches, corresponding to a standard #10 size, with a coarse thread pitch of 24 threads per inch (TPI). The total length of the screw is 0.50 inches (1/2 inch), making it suitable for securing sheet metal covers, internal components, or mounting brackets within the machine chassis.

Material composition is a critical aspect of this component. Manufactured from high-grade steel, it provides the necessary tensile strength to withstand the vibration and thermal cycling common in welding environments. To mitigate oxidation and environmental degradation, the steel is finished with a Zinc Plating (ZPC). This coating acts as a sacrificial anode, protecting the underlying steel from rust and ensuring that the fastener remains removable during future maintenance cycles without seizing.

As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, this screw guarantees dimensional accuracy. Using non-OEM fasteners with incorrect thread pitches or lower grade materials can lead to stripped chassis threads or component failure. This specific SKU is stocked to support the maintenance and repair of ESAB wire feeders, power sources, and ancillary equipment where #10-24 fasteners are specified.
