Import 6912 5X12 Low Socket Cap Screw M5x0.8 Alloy Steel

Product Description

The IMPORT 6912 5X12 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where a reduced-profile fastener head is required. Manufactured from alloy steel at material grade 10.9, this screw delivers high tensile strength in a compact form factor. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in precision assemblies. It features an M5x0.8 metric thread, a 4mm hex socket drive, and a fully threaded shank measuring 12mm in length under the head. This fastener is commonly installed by machinists, millwrights, equipment technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with metric hardware.

This screw is suited for metric assemblies where standard socket cap head height would interfere with mating components, thin panels, or recessed cavities. The fully threaded shank provides uniform clamping engagement across the full fastener length, making it appropriate for short-grip applications in machine frames, fixtures, jigs, brackets, and light industrial equipment. It conforms to ANSI B1.13M metric thread standards, ensuring dimensional compatibility with standard M5 threaded holes and metric tooling.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile for clearance-critical installations
• Alloy steel construction rated to material grade 10.9 for high tensile strength
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in short-grip applications
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced reflectivity
• 4mm hex socket drive compatible with standard metric hex keys and drivers
• Conforms to ANSI B1.13M metric fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a metric replacement or service fastener for M5x0.8 threaded applications requiring a low-profile socket cap head per ANSI B1.13M.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 4mm hex key or socket driver. Ensure the receiving threaded hole is clean and free of debris before fastening. Power down and de-energize any equipment before performing fastener service on mechanical assemblies. Do not mix metric and unified inch fasteners in the same threaded bore.
