Value Collection A996726 M3x0.50 Hex Socket Cap Screw 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996726 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw in M3 x 0.50 metric thread size with a 45 mm length under head. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 standards and carries a material grade of 12.9, indicating high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation in tight clearance applications. This package contains 25 pieces, making it appropriate for shop stock, production lines, or repair kits where consistent fastener supply is needed.

These cap screws are used across a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications wherever a low-profile, high-strength metric fastener is required. The M3 thread size and 45 mm length under head suit light structural connections, panel mounting, and precision equipment assembly. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in optical or electronic assemblies. Typical installers include machinists, assembly technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on industrial equipment or precision machinery.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 metric thread for compatibility with standard M3 tapped holes
• 45 mm length under head with partial threading for clamping force on unthreaded shanks
• Alloy steel construction with 12.9 material grade for high tensile and proof load ratings
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced surface glare
• Meets DIN 912 and ISO 898-1 fastener standards
• Sold in a 25-piece package for bench stock or production use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an M3 x 0.50 partially threaded hex drive fastener conforming to DIN 912 geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized hex key or hex bit driver matched to the M3 socket cap screw drive. Always verify that the receiving thread is clean and properly tapped to M3 x 0.50 before fastening. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before accessing fastener locations on machinery. Torque to the assembly specification provided by the equipment manufacturer for grade 12.9 fasteners of this diameter.
