Holo-krome 69398 Low Socket Cap Screw M6x1 12mm

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 69398 is a metric low socket cap screw designed for applications where standard socket cap head height creates clearance problems. The fastener features an M6x1 thread with a 4 mm head height and 5 mm hex key drive, machined from alloy steel and finished in black oxide. Material grade 10.9 confirms high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The black oxide coating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in precision equipment. This fastener is installed by machinists, millwrights, and mechanical technicians working on machine tools, fixtures, enclosures, and mechanical sub-assemblies where low-profile fastening is required.

The 69398 suits metric fastening applications in manufacturing, automation, and general mechanical assembly. Its low socket cap head profile makes it the correct choice when recessed mounting or tight clearances prevent use of a standard-height socket cap screw. The coarse M6x1 thread pitch and 6G thread fit class ensure consistent engagement with standard metric tapped holes. Length is measured under the head at 12 mm, and the screw is fully threaded for its entire shank length.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile at 4 mm head height for clearance-sensitive installations
• M6x1 coarse thread, 6G fit class for consistent engagement in standard metric tapped holes
• Alloy steel grade 10.9 for high tensile strength in structural and mechanical fastening
• Black oxide finish reduces corrosion and minimizes surface reflectivity
• 5 mm hex socket drive compatible with standard metric hex keys and driver bits
• Fully threaded shank along the full 12 mm length under head
• Conforms to ANSI B1.13M metric fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard M6x1 metric tapped holes requiring a low-profile socket cap fastener per ANSI B1.13M.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or mechanical technician using a calibrated 5 mm hex key or socket driver. Verify that the mating tapped hole conforms to M6x1 6H thread tolerance before installation. Do not exceed recommended torque values for grade 10.9 alloy steel at this thread size as overtorquing can yield the fastener or damage the tapped hole. Clean and inspect threads prior to installation to ensure proper fit and engagement.
