Value Collection SCX202016-050BX M2 Hex Socket Cap Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX202016-050BX is an M2 x 0.40 hex socket cap screw with a 16 mm length under head, manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish. Fully threaded along the entire shank, this fastener is driven with a hex key and conforms to DIN 912 dimensional standards. It is suited for precision assembly work where a low-profile, high-strength threaded fastener is required in corrosion-resistant steel. Packaged in a minimum quantity of 50 pieces per order.

This screw is used across a wide range of light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation panels, HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical control cabinets, and plumbing fixture hardware. The M2 thread size and 16 mm shank length make it appropriate for thin-gauge metal and plastic subassemblies where controlled clamping force is needed. The stainless steel construction resists oxidation in moist or chemically active environments, making it a common choice for indoor mechanical and equipment service applications.

Key Features

• M2 x 0.40 thread size with 16 mm length under head for precise fit in compact assemblies
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement throughout the fastener length
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and allows visual inspection
• Hex socket drive (Allen key) enables installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations
• Conforms to DIN 912 standard for consistent dimensional and mechanical specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for assemblies requiring M2 x 0.40 DIN 912 hex socket cap screws in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or field service professionals using a calibrated hex key or Allen driver sized for the M2 socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to prevent galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners. Do not use impact drivers on M2 fasteners, as the small thread profile is susceptible to stripping under sudden torque. Follow equipment manufacturer specifications for required fastener torque values.
