Value Collection HC3XX03008-050BX Hex Head Cap Screw M3

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HC3XX03008-050BX is a fully threaded metric hex head cap screw intended for fastening applications that require corrosion resistance and dimensional precision. This screw follows DIN 933 standards, with an M3 x 0.50 thread pitch and an 8 mm length under head. The fastener is manufactured from Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel, also designated A4 stainless, which offers strong resistance to chlorides and oxidizing environments. The bright, uncoated finish ensures a clean mating surface without added coating thickness. It is used across mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and light fabrication work by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This screw is suited for metric fastening applications in environments where corrosion resistance is a priority, including marine, food processing, chemical handling, and outdoor equipment. The fully threaded shank and 5.5 mm hex drive size make it compatible with standard metric hex wrenches and sockets. It is typically used in light-duty clamping, panel fastening, and component mounting on machinery or instrumentation where M3 thread size is specified. The DIN 933 standard ensures dimensional interchangeability with other compliant hardware.

Key Features

• Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel (A4) provides strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement over the full 8 mm length under head
• DIN 933 standard ensures dimensional compliance and interchangeability
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains precise tolerances without coating buildup
• 5.5 mm hex drive accepts standard metric hex wrenches and sockets
• Minimum order quantity of 50 pieces supports bulk fastener needs in assembly and service work

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a DIN 933-compliant M3 x 0.50 fully threaded hex head cap screw in Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or assemblers using a metric hex wrench or socket sized at 5.5 mm. Verify that the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the design clamping load for M3 fasteners, and use calibrated torque tools where joint integrity is critical. Follow applicable fastener standards and equipment manufacturer specifications for final torque values.
