Value Collection -42705-2 M3 Hex Socket Cap Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -42705-2 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring high tensile strength and a clean, low-profile head. Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, this screw delivers exceptional clamping force in demanding mechanical assemblies. The black oxide coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light glare on exposed hardware. With an M3 x 0.50 thread size and 16 mm length under head, it is well suited for compact assemblies where space is limited. This package contains 50 screws.

This screw is used in mechanical, industrial, and light manufacturing applications where a recessed hex drive is required for flush or countersunk installation. Common install scenarios include machine component assembly, jig and fixture fabrication, electronics enclosure mounting, and equipment maintenance work. The hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench, making it easy to install in tight clearance areas. It conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit fastener for applications specifying M3 x 0.50 metric hex socket cap screws conforming to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, maintenance personnel, or machine assemblers using a hex key or Allen wrench sized for M3 socket cap screws. Always confirm the receiving thread is properly tapped and free of debris before driving the fastener. Grade 12.9 fasteners carry very high clamping loads and should not be substituted into applications calling for a lower strength grade without engineering review. Follow applicable industry torque guidelines for M3 grade 12.9 cap screws as specified by the equipment manufacturer or relevant standards.
