Import 43257 Cheese Head Slotted Machine Screw M6x1

Product Description

The IMPORT 43257 is a metric machine screw with a cheese head and slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. Conforming to DIN 963, this fastener features an M6x1 thread size and a 16 mm length under head. The cheese head profile provides a flat top with cylindrical sides and a moderate head diameter, making it well-suited for applications where a low-profile head is needed without countersinking. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces and is sold individually by package. It is a standard hardware item used by mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly personnel.

This fastener is used in general mechanical assembly, equipment mounting, and panel fabrication where metric M6 threads are specified. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers. The zinc plating provides light-duty corrosion protection suitable for indoor or dry-environment applications. DIN 963 compliance ensures dimensional consistency for use in equipment that requires standardized metric hardware.

Key Features

• M6x1 thread size conforming to DIN 963 metric fastener standard
• Cheese head profile with slotted drive for flat-blade or bit driver installation
• 10 mm head diameter and 3.9 mm head height for low-profile seating
• 16 mm length under head provides consistent grip length in standard metric assemblies
• Zinc-plated steel construction for light corrosion resistance in dry environments
• Minimum order quantity of 50 pieces ensures job-site or shop stock availability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 963 metric machine screw for general mechanical assembly applications requiring an M6x1 thread pitch and cheese head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver sized for an M6 cheese head fastener. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not over-torque slotted-drive fasteners, as the drive recess is more susceptible to cam-out than hex or Torx profiles. For assemblies subject to vibration, consider the addition of a locking element as appropriate to the application.
