Value Collection 532518P M2 X 0.40 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 532518P is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw in M2 x 0.40 metric thread, designed for precision fastening applications requiring high clamping strength in a compact form factor. With an 8 mm length under head, the fastener is manufactured from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides baseline corrosion resistance and a clean, low-reflectance appearance. The 12.9 material grade designates the highest standard strength class for metric fasteners, making it suitable for high-stress mechanical assemblies. Installed using a hex (Allen) key drive, it is commonly placed by mechanical assemblers, machinists, and maintenance technicians working on precision equipment, tooling, and machine components.

This screw is appropriate for applications where a flush or recessed fastener head is required and load demands are high relative to the fastener size. The M2 x 0.40 thread pitch is common in small mechanical assemblies, electronics hardware, optical equipment mounts, and precision tooling fixtures. The fully threaded shank ensures maximum thread engagement when used in blind or through holes tapped to M2 x 0.40 specification. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces, sold as a single package quantity per order entry.

Key Features

• M2 x 0.40 metric thread with 8 mm length under head
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high-tensile strength applications
• Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and low-reflectance appearance
• Hex socket (Allen) drive for recessed or torque-sensitive installations
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric hex socket cap screw suitable for any M2 x 0.40 tapped hole in mechanical assemblies, precision equipment, or tooling fixtures requiring a Grade 12.9 DIN 912 fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized metric hex key or hex bit driver; use of an improperly sized driver can strip the socket recess. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Apply thread-locking compound if specified by the equipment manufacturer for vibration-prone assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment OEM torque guidance when securing Grade 12.9 fasteners.
