Value Collection MASC0030006CP M3x0.5 Socket Cap Screw 6mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MASC0030006CP is a fully threaded socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications across mechanical assemblies, equipment manufacturing, and maintenance work. Sized at M3 x 0.5 with a 6 mm length under head, this screw uses a hex socket drive and is manufactured to DIN 912 standards. The socket cap head profile provides a low-profile, high-strength seating surface suitable for close-tolerance work. Material is 18-8 stainless steel, Austenitic Grade A2, offering corrosion resistance in general-purpose and mildly corrosive environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this fastener in panel assemblies, brackets, and equipment enclosures where a clean, recessed drive is required.

This socket cap screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation mounting, electrical enclosures, and general industrial fastening where metric thread pitch and corrosion resistance are required. The M3 x 0.5 thread size is common in precision equipment, HVAC controls, and panel hardware. Fully threaded construction allows maximum thread engagement across the full 6 mm shank length, making it appropriate for thin-material and close-tolerance fastening scenarios.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.5 thread size with 6 mm length under head for compact, precise fastening
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in thin materials
• Hex socket drive for torque application in confined spaces using standard hex keys
• DIN 912 fastener standard ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• 18-8 stainless steel, Grade A2, provides corrosion resistance in general-purpose environments
• Socket cap head profile allows flush or near-flush installation in counterbored holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric socket cap screw suitable for M3 x 0.5 threaded holes in mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and instrumentation hardware.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized hex key or hex bit driver to avoid rounding the socket drive. Verify thread engagement depth before final torque to prevent stripping in shallow or thin-material applications. Clean mating threads and inspect for debris before installation. Stainless fasteners can be prone to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum tapped holes.
