Value Collection MASC0030012CP M3 X 0.5 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MASC0030012CP is a fully threaded socket cap screw with an M3 x 0.5 thread profile and a 12 mm length under head. It features a cylindrical socket cap head driven by a standard hex socket tool. The fastener is manufactured to DIN 912 specifications from 18-8 stainless steel, also classified as austenitic Grade A2, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical assembly applications. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians use these screws in applications where compact head geometry and reliable torque transfer are required in confined spaces.

This screw is appropriate for light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation panels, enclosure hardware, and precision equipment where a low-profile cap head and metric M3 thread sizing are called for. The fully threaded design ensures maximum thread engagement across the 12 mm shank, making it a practical choice for thin workpiece stackups and through-hole configurations. These are sold individually but carry a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.5 fully threaded profile per DIN 912 standard
• 12 mm length under head for consistent installation depth
• 18-8 stainless steel construction, austenitic Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Hex socket drive for positive torque engagement with standard hex keys or bit drivers
• Socket cap head geometry allows use in recessed or tight-clearance mounting locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric socket cap screw suitable for M3-tapped holes in general mechanical, electrical enclosure, and instrumentation assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized metric hex key or hex bit driver matched to the M3 socket cap head. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated torque range for 18-8 stainless steel at this thread size, as galling can occur if fasteners are driven dry at high speed. Follow applicable assembly standards for the specific application and equipment type.
