Value Collection 532008P M3 X 0.50 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 532008P is an M3 x 0.50 metric hex socket cap screw engineered for precision fastening applications. It features a 10 mm length under head with full threading along the shank, providing maximum thread engagement in threaded holes. Constructed from alloy steel at material grade 12.9, it delivers high tensile strength and resistance to shear loads. The black oxide coating adds a layer of mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. This screw is installed using a hex key or Allen driver and is specified to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and field service professionals working on precision equipment commonly use this fastener.

This screw is suited for use in tight-clearance assemblies where a low-profile socket head is required and a standard hex head would not fit. Common applications include machinery frames, equipment brackets, motor mounts, enclosure panels, and other mechanical subassemblies where a grade 12.9 fastener is called out by design specification. The compact M3 diameter makes it a standard choice in light-duty precision equipment, instrumentation, and electromechanical assemblies. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 metric thread size with 10 mm length under head
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance
• Hex socket drive type requires standard hex key or Allen wrench
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric fastener for use in any assembly or equipment calling out an M3 x 0.50 grade 12.9 hex socket cap screw per DIN 912 or ISO 898-1 specification.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or Allen driver matched to the M3 socket head to avoid rounding the drive recess. Verify the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Grade 12.9 fasteners should not be substituted with lower-grade hardware in load-bearing applications where the original design specifies this grade. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment service documentation for proper torque procedures.
