Value Collection SCX202508-050BX M2.5 X 0.45 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX202508-050BX is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and light structural assemblies. Sized at M2.5 x 0.45 metric thread with an 8 mm length under head, this screw is machined from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2) and left uncoated for a bright finish. The internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench for installation in tight or recessed spaces where a standard wrench cannot reach. It conforms to DIN 912, a widely recognized fastener standard for socket head cap screws. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package, this SKU suits production line procurement and maintenance stock builds.

This screw is suited for use in instrumentation panels, HVAC control enclosures, electrical equipment assemblies, plumbing fixture brackets, and small-component mechanical sub-assemblies. The M2.5 metric thread size is common in light-duty precision hardware where compact fastener profiles are required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it appropriate for both indoor and moderately humid or wet environments. Technicians working on control boards, sensor mounts, or panel sub-frames will find this size a common requirement in both OEM and field-service settings.

• Conforms to DIN 912 fastener standard
• Minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an M2.5 x 0.45 threaded fastener with an 8 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized metric hex key or Allen driver sized for M2.5 socket cap screws. Always verify thread engagement depth and confirm the mating thread is cut to M2.5 x 0.45 pitch before driving. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes, as galling can occur without appropriate anti-seize compound. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and relevant mechanical or electrical codes for the assembly being serviced.
