S-96970A117 M5 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 for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Enhanced space-saving design with low profile socket head that fits in tight clearance applications
• Secure and precise installation thanks to the hex drive with pilot recess that prevents cam-out and ensures proper alignment
• High mechanical strength with 100,000 psi tensile strength and Rockwell B96 hardness for reliable load-bearing capability
• Consistent thread engagement with Class 6g thread fit and coarse 0.8mm pitch for quick assembly and vibration resistance
• Optimized partial threading that provides unthreaded shank strength where needed while maintaining full thread functionality
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting DIN 6912 standards and RoHS 3 requirements for quality and environmental safety

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M5 low profile socket head cap screw delivers exceptional engineering value in applications where space constraints and corrosion resistance are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent protection against rust and chemical exposure, making it ideal for machinery, automotive components, and electronic enclosures operating in harsh conditions. The hex drive with pilot recess ensures positive engagement with driving tools, eliminating slippage and reducing installation damage. With its partially threaded design and coarse metric thread, this fastener offers superior clamping force distribution while resisting vibration-induced loosening. The low profile head enables flush mounting in compact assemblies without compromising the structural integrity provided by the 100,000 psi tensile strength, making it a reliable choice for precision engineering applications requiring both performance and space efficiency.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric fastener features precise Class 6g thread fit tolerance with M5 x 0.8mm coarse thread configuration and 12mm length with 7.8mm minimum thread length. Manufactured to DIN 6912 specifications with 4mm hex drive and 2.5mm pilot recess diameter, ensuring dimensional accuracy and interchangeability. The product is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliant, meeting international environmental standards while maintaining the mechanical properties required for industrial applications.
