Value Collection KP83806 M3x0.5 Hex Socket Cap Screw 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP83806 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications in metal fabrication, mechanical assemblies, and industrial maintenance. Sized at M3 x 0.50 metric thread with a 4 mm length under head, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2) and carries a bright, uncoated finish. The internal hex drive requires an appropriate hex key or Allen wrench for installation. The package contains 25 pieces, making it suitable for small-batch jobs or stock replenishment.

These cap screws are used across a wide range of light mechanical and structural applications where corrosion resistance and consistent thread engagement are required. Typical installation scenarios include securing small machine components, electronic enclosures, instrumentation panels, and similar assemblies where an M3 thread is specified. The DIN 912 standard ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability with other DIN-compliant hardware.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 metric thread, fully threaded along the 4 mm length under head
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction, Material Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for applications where no added coating is required
• Internal hex (Allen) drive for controlled, torque-efficient installation
• Conforms to DIN 912 fastener standard for dimensional interchangeability
• Sold in a 25-piece package to support small-quantity needs

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant M3 x 0.50 hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application specifying that thread size and standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist, maintenance technician, or assembler using a properly sized hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not exceed the rated engagement depth for the base material to avoid stripping the thread. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when repeated disassembly is anticipated.
