Value Collection SCX202516-050BX M2.5 X 0.45 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX202516-050BX is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a compact, low-profile head and reliable clamping force. Sized M2.5 x 0.45 with a 16 mm length under head, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2) and left with a bright, uncoated finish. It drives with a hex key and conforms to DIN 912, the widely recognized standard for socket head cap screws. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this fastener is suited for maintenance shops, production lines, and field technicians who need metric hardware in consistent, reliable supply.

This screw is commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation enclosures, HVAC control panels, electrical equipment, and other applications where a small-diameter metric fastener with full thread engagement is required. The M2.5 thread size and 16 mm shank length make it appropriate for thin-wall assemblies and stacked component mounting where a fully threaded grip is needed throughout the fastener length. The 18-8 stainless construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and mildly corrosive environments.

Key Features

• M2.5 x 0.45 metric thread with 16 mm length under head — fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2 — corrosion-resistant for general and light-duty corrosive environments
• Hex socket drive (hex key) — allows installation in tight clearance spaces where a standard wrench cannot reach
• DIN 912 compliant — conforms to an internationally recognized fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating variability to affect thread tolerance or fit
• Sold in packs of 50 — consistent quantity for production, service kit replenishment, or bench stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw in M2.5 x 0.45 thread size, suitable for use wherever a fully threaded, 16 mm length-under-head socket cap screw meeting DIN 912 dimensional requirements is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized metric hex key or hex bit driver; use of an incorrect key size can strip the socket. Torque to the assembly or equipment manufacturer's specification for M2.5 stainless fasteners. Avoid overtightening, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads before installation reduces this risk. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving.
