• Compliance with DIN 6912 and RoHS 3 ensures adherence to strict industrial standards and environmental regulations.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M5 x 0.8mm low profile socket head cap screw is engineered for precision assemblies where space constraints and reliability are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel material offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, making it suitable for machinery, automotive, and electronic enclosures operating in corrosive conditions. Its partially threaded design with coarse threading enables faster installation and secure grip in soft materials or pre-tapped holes. The hex drive with pilot recess ensures maximum torque application without slippage, reducing assembly time and improving worker safety. By meeting DIN 6912 specifications, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and load distribution, minimizing the risk of joint failure in high-vibration environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fastener features a metric M5 thread size with a 0.8 mm coarse pitch and Class 6g thread fit for precise ISO-compliant tolerances. The partially threaded rod has a minimum thread length of 5.8 mm and overall length of 10 mm, with a low-profile head diameter of 8.5 mm and height of 3.5 mm. It conforms to the DIN 6912 manufacturing standard and is RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant, ensuring it meets rigorous environmental and safety regulations for industrial use.
