Import 43256 M6x1 12mm Cheese Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The IMPORT 43256 is a metric machine screw with a cheese head profile and slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It carries a Grade 4.8 strength rating and conforms to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 dimensional standards. The thread is M6x1, and the length under head measures 12 millimeters. This fastener is installed without a washer and is suited for light to medium clamping applications in fabricated assemblies, enclosures, and mechanical sub-assemblies. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general trade professionals use this screw where a low-profile head and standard slotted drive are specified.

This screw is appropriate for metric-dimensioned assemblies in commercial and light industrial settings. The cheese head geometry provides a larger bearing surface than a pan head while keeping a cylindrical, low-profile shape. The zinc plating offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor or light-duty environments. It is typically used in panel mounting, equipment housings, and general mechanical assembly where M6 thread size and 12 mm fastener length are called out by the design specification.
