Value Collection LHS4X04012-050BX Low Head Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LHS4X04012-050BX is a low head socket cap screw designed for applications where standard cap head height would interfere with mating components or create clearance issues. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), this fully threaded fastener carries an M4 x 0.7 thread profile and measures 12 mm in length under the head. The reduced head height makes it well suited for countersunk or recessed assemblies where a conventional socket cap screw will not fit. Driven with a 2.5 mm hex key, it conforms to DIN 6912 and arrives with a bright, uncoated finish. Installers and fabricators who need metric fasteners in corrosion-resistant applications will find this screw a direct-fit choice.

This fastener is used in mechanical assemblies, panel fabrications, machine guarding, enclosures, and light structural brackets where low-profile hardware is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or where material compatibility with aluminum or stainless substrates is a consideration. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it suitable for production runs and service inventory replenishment.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head reduces overall stack height in tight clearance assemblies
• Fully threaded M4 x 0.7 metric thread along the entire 12 mm shaft length
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Driven by a 2.5 mm hex socket key for access in confined spaces
• Conforms to DIN 6912 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains true material properties without added coating thickness

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 6912 metric low head socket cap screw for use in any threaded M4 x 0.7 application requiring a reduced-height head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 2.5 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur on stainless-to-stainless thread engagements; applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads is a common practice. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment manufacturer specifications for torque requirements.
