Value Collection 534010PR Flat Socket Cap Screw M3x0.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 534010PR is a metric flat socket cap screw manufactured from grade 12.9 alloy steel with a black oxide finish. The 90-degree flat head seats flush with the mating surface, eliminating protrusion in countersunk applications. A 2 mm hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver. The M3x0.5 thread is fully threaded along the entire 12 mm overall length, providing consistent clamping engagement from head to tip. At 0.05 pounds, this fastener is suited for precision assemblies where low-profile head geometry and high tensile strength are required. Installers in machine, tooling, and equipment fabrication trades will find this screw appropriate for tight-clearance fastening tasks.

This fastener is used in metric applications requiring a flush or countersunk head profile. Typical install scenarios include fixture plates, jigs, precision machine frames, and equipment panels where the fastener face must sit below or level with the surrounding surface. The M3x0.5 thread pitch and 12 mm overall length make it suitable for thin material stacks and light mechanical assemblies. It conforms to DIN 7991, aligning with international metric fastener standards used across manufacturing and industrial maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction for high tensile and proof strength
• 90-degree flat head profile seats flush in countersunk bores
• 2 mm hex socket drive compatible with standard metric hex keys
• Fully threaded M3x0.5 shank along the complete 12 mm length
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Conforms to DIN 7991 fastener standard for consistent dimensional compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock metric flat socket cap screw for applications requiring DIN 7991 geometry with an M3x0.5 thread and 12 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 2 mm hex key or Allen driver. Verify that the mating material is pre-drilled and countersunk to the correct 90-degree included angle before driving the fastener. Torque to the specification called out in your assembly drawing or engineering standard, as the correct value depends on joint design and material. Grade 12.9 fasteners should not be reused in safety-critical joints after removal without engineering review.
