Value Collection -42706-2 M3x0.50 Hex Socket Cap Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -42706-2 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw in M3 x 0.50 metric thread, with a 35 mm length under head. Manufactured from alloy steel at material grade 12.9, it carries a black oxide finish coating for corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection. The hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key for installation in confined spaces where a conventional wrench cannot reach. This fastener meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards, making it a reliable choice for precision mechanical assemblies requiring a high-strength, compact-head fastener. Sold in a pack of 50 units.

This screw is suited for use in machinery, tooling fixtures, industrial equipment, and precision mechanical assemblies where a low-profile socket head and high tensile strength are required. The M3 thread size targets small-bore applications common in instrumentation, jigs, guards, and light structural connections. The black oxide finish is appropriate for interior or sheltered environments where moderate corrosion protection is acceptable. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and industrial assemblers are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket. De-energize and lock out any powered equipment before fastener service. Apply consistent torque within the specification for grade 12.9 M3 fasteners per applicable engineering or manufacturer guidelines, as no torque value is defined in the product data provided. Inspect threads for contamination or damage before installation to ensure full engagement.
