Value Collection 532018P M3x0.5 Hex Socket Cap Screw 30mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 532018P is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly work. This screw features an M3 x 0.50 thread size with a 30 mm length under head and is partially threaded. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards and carries a material grade of 12.9, indicating high tensile strength suited for demanding structural and mechanical connections. Licensed trades and assembly technicians install this type of fastener in tight-clearance applications where a hex key drive is required. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

This screw is suited for use in machinery assembly, fixture fabrication, tooling, and general mechanical construction where a compact, high-strength metric fastener is required. The M3 thread size and 30 mm under-head length make it appropriate for medium-depth fastening in metal components. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection on finished assemblies. It is commonly installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and millwrights in industrial and manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 metric thread with 30 mm length under head
• Alloy steel construction, material grade 12.9 for high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance appearance
• Partially threaded shank for controlled clamping force
• Hex socket (Allen key) drive for use in confined spaces
• Meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for M3-threaded applications requiring a grade 12.9 alloy steel fastener with a 30 mm under-head length.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized metric hex key or socket driver to avoid rounding the drive recess. Ensure threaded holes are clean and properly tapped to M3 x 0.50 specification before installation. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or thread-locking compound as required by the assembly specification. Follow applicable industry torque guidelines for grade 12.9 M3 fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer.
