RS PRO SEMS Screw with Plain Washer
RS PRO SEMS Screw
From the trusted RS PRO brand, these pan head SEMS screws are ideal for when a good speed of assembly is required. SEMS screws have advantages over similar threaded screws in that a loose washer is pre-fitted to the fastener, saving you time in selecting and fitting a separate washer. As such, whenever a quick installation is required, these SEMS screws are ideal.
The screws feature a bright zinc finish which provides an element of corrosion resistance which makes them ideal for use in most indoor environments. They also feature a pozidriv head for maximum torque in installation.

What does SEM mean?
In this case, SEM is simply a shorthand way of saying 'pre-assembled.'
What is the advantage of a Pozidriv screw?
A Pozidriv screw is an improvement on the crosshead screw, or Phillips screw. Like the crosshead, the Pozidriv screw naturally centers the torque when a Pozidrive screwdriver is applied, meaning there is less resistance and more control when screwing and unscrewing. To lessen the chance of the driver slipping from the screw head, known as cam out, the Pozidriv screw is preferable even to the Phillips screw.
