Holo-krome 76016 Hex Socket Cap Screw M3 X 0.50 10mm

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 76016 is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring high tensile strength and a compact, low-profile drive. Built from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, it delivers the clamping force needed in demanding mechanical assemblies. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. At M3 x 0.50 thread pitch with a 10 mm length under head, this fastener is fully threaded and driven with a hex socket wrench. It is manufactured to ANSI B1.13M, DIN 912, ISO 4762, and ISO 898-1 standards, confirming dimensional and mechanical compliance for trade and industrial use.

This fastener is used in light mechanical assemblies, machine components, precision equipment, and industrial fixtures where a recessed hex drive is required. The M3 x 0.50 size is common in small-frame assemblies, tooling fixtures, electronic enclosures, and OEM equipment manufacturing. A minimum order quantity of 100 pieces applies, making this screw suited for production-level procurement and maintenance parts stocking rather than single-unit replacement.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction rated to material grade 12.9 for high tensile and proof load strength
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion protection and reduced surface reflectivity
• Fully threaded along the 10 mm length under head for maximum thread engagement in shallow tapped holes
• Hex socket drive for torque-efficient installation in confined or recessed locations
• Conforms to ANSI B1.13M, DIN 912, ISO 4762, and ISO 898-1 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M3 x 0.50 metric hex socket cap screw per DIN 912 and ISO 4762, compatible with any tapped M3 x 0.50 hole in metric-threaded assemblies requiring a grade 12.9 fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using the appropriate metric hex key or socket bit matched to the M3 drive size. Verify thread engagement depth in the mating component before assembly to avoid cross-threading or insufficient clamp load. Grade 12.9 fasteners are not recommended for direct contact with certain aluminum alloys or materials susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement without engineering review. Always follow applicable torque guidelines from the assembly manufacturer or relevant mechanical standards for M3 grade 12.9 fasteners.
