Value Collection SCX201612-050BX M1.6 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX201612-050BX is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw in M1.6 x 0.35 metric thread, with a 12 mm length under head. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), this fastener meets DIN 912 standard and ships in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces. The bright, uncoated finish leaves the steel in its natural state, making it suitable for applications where corrosion resistance and a clean appearance are priorities. Machinists, assembly technicians, and maintenance professionals install these screws wherever a compact, precision metric fastener with a hex drive is required.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrument enclosures, electronics housings, and precision equipment requiring a small-diameter metric cap screw. The M1.6 thread diameter and 12 mm under-head length suit thin-profile components and confined mounting situations where standard socket head access is maintained. The DIN 912 dimensional standard ensures interchangeability with OEM-specification hardware across European and metric-standard assemblies.

Key Features

• M1.6 x 0.35 metric thread — fully threaded along the 12 mm under-head length
• 18-8 stainless steel, Material Grade A2 — provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Hex socket drive (Allen key compatible) — allows installation in recessed or torque-sensitive locations
• DIN 912 standard — ensures dimensional conformance and interchangeability
• Bright, uncoated finish — no added coating to affect dimensional tolerances
• Sold in minimum quantity of 50 pieces per order

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant metric hex socket cap screw suitable for any application requiring an M1.6 x 0.35 thread pitch fastener with a 12 mm under-head length in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using the correct metric hex key or Allen driver sized for the M1.6 socket head to avoid rounding the drive recess. Apply consistent, controlled torque appropriate for M1.6 stainless steel fasteners to prevent thread galling, which is common with austenitic stainless grades. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. When used in electrical or electronic enclosures, verify that the fastener material and finish are compatible with the assembly requirements and any applicable standards.
