Value Collection SCX201616-050BX Hex Socket Cap Screw M1.6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX201616-050BX is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where a low-profile, high-strength connection is required. The fastener features an M1.6 x 0.35 thread size and a 16 mm length under head, with partial threading along the shank. It is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish, offering solid corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor environments. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package and conforms to DIN 912 dimensional standards. Machinists, assembly technicians, and maintenance professionals working with small-scale mechanical assemblies are the primary installers.

This fastener is suited for small mechanical assemblies, instrumentation housings, electronic enclosures, and precision equipment where M1.6 metric threading is specified. The partial threading design provides clamping force against a mating surface rather than threading through the full grip length. Its compact M1.6 diameter makes it a common selection in tight-clearance applications where standard or coarse-thread fasteners would not fit. Applications span light industrial, medical device, and instrumentation sectors where DIN 912 compliance is a requirement.

Key Features

• M1.6 x 0.35 metric thread size for precision small-fastener applications
• 16 mm length under head with partial threading for positive clamping
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no added coating thickness to affect thread fit
• Conforms to DIN 912 fastener standard for dimensional interchangeability
• Sold in 50-piece minimum order quantity for production and service stock

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant M1.6 x 0.35 hex socket cap screw compatible with any tapped or threaded hole conforming to M1.6 x 0.35 metric thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or Allen driver matched to the M1.6 socket head — using an incorrect driver size risks stripping the socket. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not exceed the torque rating specified by the assembly design, as stainless steel fasteners at this diameter are susceptible to galling if over-tightened. Apply an anti-galling compound if repeated removal and reinstallation is expected.
