The pan head is a commonly used head style for screws.

It looks like an upside down frying pan – pan head screws have a cylindrical head with a slightly rounded top surface and a flat bearing surface underneath.

Pan head screws are visually appealing and can take higher torque and provide better clamping force.

This head style is ideal for most applications where a protruding head is acceptable.

Pan Head Machine Screws

Pan Phillips Screws

The Phillips screw drive (specified as an ANSI Type I Cross Recess and type H in ISO documentation) is among the most popular drive style for screws.

Cross recess H (Phillips) according to ISO 4757 has a conventional cruciform recess with all walls inclined, the end of the screwdriver having trapezoid webs.

The design is often criticized for its tendency to cam out at lower torque levels than other “cross head” designs.
