S-96970A112 M4 x 12 mm DIN 6912 18-8 Stainless Steel Low-Profile Socket Head Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh or humid environments without compromising integrity.
• Space-saving low profile head allows for installation in tight or restricted spaces where standard socket heads won't fit.
• High tensile strength of 100,000 psi ensures reliable, vibration-resistant fastening in demanding mechanical assemblies.
• Precise Class 6g thread fit guarantees smooth installation and consistent clamping force, reducing assembly time and errors.
• Enhanced drive stability with a hex pilot recess and 3 mm drive size, minimizing cam-out and tool wear during tightening.
• DIN 6912 compliance assures dimensional accuracy and interchangeability for European machinery and equipment applications.
• RoHS 3 environmental compliance meets strict regulatory standards, making it suitable for electronics and consumer goods industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M4 low profile socket head cap screw is engineered to address common challenges in precision assembly, such as limited clearance and exposure to corrosive elements. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to rust and oxidation, extending service life in automotive, aerospace, and marine components. Its partially threaded design and coarse metric thread with 0.7 mm pitch enable quick, secure fastening in soft materials or pre-tapped holes, reducing the risk of cross-threading. The low socket head profile and hex drive with pilot recess offer superior torque transmission and access in confined spaces, making it a reliable choice for machinery frames, enclosures, and robotic systems where durability and space optimization are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to DIN 6912 standards, ensuring precise dimensions including a 12 mm length, M4 thread size, and 0.7 mm coarse pitch. Thread fit is Class 6g per ISO metric tolerances for consistent performance. It meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance, supporting environmentally responsible manufacturing. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a Rockwell B96 hardness and 100,000 psi tensile strength, it is suitable for high-stress applications requiring reliability and corrosion resistance.
