Metric Blue UST185126 Flat Socket Cap Screw M3x0.5

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST185126 is a metric flat socket cap screw designed for low-profile fastening applications where a flush or countersunk seating surface is required. Built to DIN 7991 standard, this screw features an M3x0.5 thread, a 2.00 mm hex socket drive, and an overall length of 12.00 mm. It is fully threaded and manufactured from 10.9 grade alloy steel, delivering high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The metric blue finish provides a degree of corrosion resistance and identification. Licensed trades, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working with metric fastener systems will find this screw suited to precision metalwork and equipment fabrication.

This flat socket cap screw is used in applications where a standard raised-head fastener would interfere with mating surfaces or clearance envelopes. The 90-degree flat head seats flush within a countersunk hole, making it common in equipment panels, brackets, and machine frames where surface profile matters. It is appropriate for both light industrial and commercial maintenance applications involving metric fastener standards. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suited to shop stock replenishment or production-run procurement.

Key Features

• DIN 7991 standard flat socket cap screw for verified metric dimensional compliance
• M3x0.5 thread with 12.00 mm overall length, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• 10.9 alloy steel material grade provides high tensile and proof load capacity
• 2.00 mm hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys
• 90-degree flat head profile allows flush countersunk installation
• Metric blue finish for corrosion resistance and fastener identification

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7991-compliant metric flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an M3x0.5 countersunk hex socket fastener to metric thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed using a correctly sized 2.00 mm hex key or hex bit driver to avoid rounding the drive socket. Ensure the receiving material is drilled and countersunk to the correct 90-degree angle to match the head geometry before installation. Always confirm thread engagement depth is adequate for the material and load requirements of the assembly. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when specifying fastener preload.
