Value Collection 532004P M3x0.5 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 532004P is an M3 x 0.50 metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and equipment fabrication. Manufactured from alloy steel at material grade 12.9, this fully threaded fastener delivers high tensile strength suited to demanding clamping applications. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection on finished assemblies. With a 6 mm length under head and a hex socket drive, the screw accepts a standard hex key for installation in confined or recessed spaces. It conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians across mechanical, HVAC, and industrial service trades use grade 12.9 cap screws where high clamp load in a small fastener footprint is required.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical assemblies requiring a compact, high-strength metric screw. The M3 thread size and 6 mm length under head make it suitable for light-gauge brackets, motor mounts, enclosure hardware, and precision instrument assemblies. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it practical for shop stock, service van inventory, or production line use. The black oxide finish suits indoor and semi-protected environments where a clean, low-glare appearance is preferred alongside moderate surface protection.

Key Features

• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile and proof-load strength
• Fully threaded M3 x 0.50 metric thread for maximum thread engagement over the full 6 mm shaft
• Hex socket drive accommodates standard metric hex keys in tight or recessed locations
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and a low-glare surface
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards
• Sold in multiples of 100 for efficient shop and field stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for M3 x 0.50 threaded holes in mechanical assemblies, brackets, and equipment where a grade 12.9 alloy steel fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a metric hex key sized for M3 socket cap screws. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing or installing fasteners in live assemblies. Grade 12.9 fasteners should not be substituted with lower-grade hardware where the original specification calls for high-strength fastening. Inspect threads in the receiving hole for damage or contamination before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading or galling.
