S-96970A119 M5 x 20 mm DIN 6912 18-8 Stainless Steel Low-Profile Socket Head Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance from 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and long-term reliability.
• Enhanced durability and strength with 100,000 psi tensile strength and Rockwell B96 hardness, preventing stripping and failure under load.
• Space-saving low-profile head design allows for use in tight clearance applications without compromising on drive engagement.
• Precise and secure fastening with Class 6g thread fit and M5 x 0.8mm coarse thread, ensuring reliable engagement and vibration resistance.
• Optimized torque transmission via the 4mm hex drive with pilot recess, reducing cam-out and enabling high tightening forces.
• Versatile partial threading (15.8mm min thread length on a 20mm body) provides unthreaded shank for precise shear load positioning.
• Guaranteed quality and compliance meeting DIN 6912 specifications and RoHS 3, ensuring material consistency and environmental safety.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This low profile socket head cap screw is engineered to solve critical challenges in precision assembly and machinery. The 18-8 stainless steel material offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemicals, making it suitable for automotive, electronics, and marine applications where corrosion resistance is paramount. The hex drive with pilot recess ensures maximum torque transfer without slippage, while the partially threaded design allows the unthreaded portion to act as a precision dowel, ideal for aligning components and bearing shear loads. With its compact head and metric coarse thread (M5 x 0.8mm), it provides reliable fastening in confined spaces, reducing the need for counterboring and streamlining installation in frames, enclosures, and automated equipment.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a Class 6g thread fit per ISO metric standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy and interchangeability. It is manufactured to comply with DIN 6912 for dimensional and mechanical properties, and is RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliant, confirming it is free of hazardous substances. The combination of precise thread geometry, material hardness, and drive system design meets rigorous industrial fastener requirements for performance and safety.
