Import 43697 Oval Head Phillips Machine Screw M5 X 0.80

Product Description

The IMPORT 43697 is a metric machine screw with an oval head and Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. Built to DIN 966 standards at Grade 4.8, this fastener delivers reliable clamping force in light-to-medium duty applications. The M5 x 0.80 thread size and 10 mm length under head make it a common choice for panel assembly, equipment enclosures, and general mechanical work. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor or protected environments. Installation requires a standard Phillips screwdriver or bit. Sold in multiples of 50.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and light structural assemblies. Its oval head profile sits flush with a countersunk surface while providing a slightly raised finished appearance. The metric DIN 966 standard makes it a direct fit for European-spec equipment and metric-designed assemblies commonly encountered in commercial and industrial service work.

Key Features

• DIN 966 standard ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability with metric hardware
• Grade 4.8 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry or protected environments
• Oval head profile delivers a low-profile countersunk appearance without full flush seating
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power bits
• M5 x 0.80 thread is one of the most common metric fastener sizes in trade equipment

Compatibility

Designed for use in metric-threaded assemblies requiring an M5 x 0.80 DIN 966 oval head machine screw. Suitable for any application where a countersunk Phillips fastener to DIN 966 specification is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized for the fastener head to avoid cam-out damage. Always power down or de-energize equipment before accessing panels or enclosures secured with these screws. Do not overtighten Grade 4.8 fasteners in soft materials such as aluminum or plastic, as thread stripping can occur. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines where specified in service documentation.
