Value Collection 532010P M3x0.5 Hex Socket Cap Screw 12mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 532010P is an M3 x 0.50 metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and machine components. It features a fully threaded 12 mm length under head with a hex socket drive, manufactured from grade 12.9 alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating for added corrosion resistance. The black oxide finish also reduces light reflection in optical or aesthetics-sensitive installations. This fastener meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards, making it a reliable choice for engineers, machinists, and maintenance technicians who require a high-strength metric cap screw in compact thread sizes.

This screw is suited for light-duty to high-load mechanical applications where a low-profile socket head is required and wrench clearance is limited. Common install scenarios include CNC machine assemblies, robotics, electronics enclosures, hydraulic component mounting, and general industrial maintenance. The M3 x 0.50 thread pitch is a standard coarse metric thread for this diameter, widely used in precision equipment. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order. Package quantity is 1.

Key Features

• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces surface reflectivity
• Fully threaded shank along the 12 mm length under head
• Hex socket drive for use with standard Allen wrenches and hex bit drivers
• Meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards
• Compact M3 x 0.50 metric coarse thread for tight-clearance assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw compatible with M3 x 0.50 threaded holes in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment requiring grade 12.9 alloy steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using an appropriately sized hex key or Allen bit driver; confirm the correct bit size before driving to avoid socket rounding. Verify that mating threaded holes are clean and free of debris before fastening. Grade 12.9 fasteners are not recommended for welding or applications requiring significant ductility. Follow applicable machine safety lockout and tagout procedures when installing fasteners in powered equipment.
