Value Collection 823014PS M3x0.5 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 823014PS is a metric flat socket cap screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, with a bright uncoated finish. It features a 90-degree flat head and a 2 mm hex socket drive, conforming to DIN 7991. The M3x0.5 thread is fully threaded along its 20 mm overall length. This fastener is suited for applications where a flush or countersunk head profile is required and corrosion resistance is a priority. Machinists, millwrights, and assembly technicians commonly install this type of screw in equipment, fixtures, and structural assemblies where the head must sit below or flush with the mating surface.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty metric fastening applications in industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly environments. The M3x0.5 thread size and 20 mm length make it a common choice for panel mounting, enclosure assembly, and precision fixture work. The 18-8 Grade A2 stainless steel construction offers resistance to oxidation and mild corrosion, making it usable in moderate-moisture environments. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Key Features

• 90-degree flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation
• Hex socket drive accepts a 2 mm hex key for precise torque application in confined spaces
• Fully threaded M3x0.5 metric thread along the entire 20 mm length
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency for close-tolerance applications
• Conforms to DIN 7991 fastener standard for metric interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 7991 compliant metric flat socket cap screw suitable for standard M3x0.5 threaded holes requiring a countersunk or flush-mount head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 2 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating material is properly countersunk to the correct 90-degree angle before driving the fastener to avoid head distortion or surface damage. Power down and de-energize any equipment before fastener installation or removal where electrical hazard is present. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for M3 stainless steel fasteners, as Grade A2 stainless is softer than alloy steel and susceptible to galling if driven dry at high speed.
