Value Collection SCX203005-050BX M3 X 0.50 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX203005-050BX is an M3 x 0.50 mm metric hex socket cap screw with a 5 mm length under the head. Fully threaded from tip to head, it 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 for installation in confined spaces where a traditional hex head wrench cannot seat. This fastener conforms to DIN 912 dimensional standards. It is packaged in a box of 50 pieces and is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment maintenance, and fabrication applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware.

This screw is used in light mechanical and structural assemblies where M3 metric threading is specified. The A2 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and moderate outdoor environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern. Common installation scenarios include panel mounting, equipment enclosures, instrument brackets, and general-purpose fastening in HVAC equipment, electrical panels, and plumbing fixture assemblies. The DIN 912 standard ensures dimensional interchangeability with other compliant M3 socket cap screws from any manufacturer.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 mm metric thread, fully threaded along the 5 mm length under the head
• DIN 912 dimensional standard for broad interchangeability
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or affect thread fit
• Internal hex socket drive allows installation in tight clearance locations
• Sold in a box of 50 pieces to support production and service quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant M3 x 0.50 mm hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to the M3 metric thread standard.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized metric hex key to avoid rounding the socket drive. Verify the receiving thread is clean and free of debris before driving the screw to prevent cross-threading in small-diameter M3 threads. For stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply an anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling during torque-down. Follow the torque specifications published in the applicable equipment service manual or engineering drawing rather than relying on general fastener charts.
