Import 84 M5X16 M5x0.8 16mm Cheese Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The IMPORT 84 M5X16 is a metric machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications in trade and industrial settings. It features an M5x0.8 thread profile with a 16mm length under head, a cheese head style, and a slotted drive. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish and rated to Grade 4.8, this screw provides reliable clamping force for light- to medium-duty assemblies. Maintenance technicians, HVAC service pros, electricians, and plumbers commonly use fasteners of this type when securing panels, brackets, enclosures, and equipment housings.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial maintenance, equipment repair, and OEM assembly work where metric fasteners conforming to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards are required. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor installations. The cheese head profile keeps a low, cylindrical head above the mating surface, making it useful in tight clearance situations where a pan or hex head would interfere. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Verify thread engagement depth before applying torque to avoid stripping the receiving thread, particularly in softer base materials. De-energize any electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC guidelines before accessing panels or enclosures. Do not apply thread-locking compounds or anti-seize agents unless specified by the equipment manufacturer.
