Value Collection SCX203010-100BX M3x0.50 Socket Cap Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX203010-100BX is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications across mechanical assembly, fabrication, and industrial maintenance work. This screw features an M3 x 0.50 thread profile with a 10 mm length under head and is fully threaded along its entire shank. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2 per DIN 912), it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. The internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key for high-torque installation in tight spaces where a wrench cannot reach. Each box contains 100 pieces.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, electronic enclosures, instrumentation panels, and plumbing or HVAC accessory mounting where metric fasteners and corrosion resistance are required. The M3 size is common in equipment with thin-gauge sheet metal brackets, small motor mounts, and sensor or controller housings. The DIN 912 standard ensures dimensional interchangeability with other compliant metric socket cap screws. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC installers, and maintenance technicians working on metric-spec equipment will find this screw a direct fit for standard M3 tapped holes at 0.50 mm pitch.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 mm thread pitch, fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• 10 mm length under head for use in standard-depth M3 tapped applications
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Internal hex socket drive for high-torque installation in confined spaces
• Conforms to DIN 912 standard for dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• Sold in a box of 100 pieces to support production and service inventory needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric socket cap screw for use in any M3 x 0.50 mm tapped hole requiring a fully threaded fastener with an internal hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized metric hex key to avoid rounding the socket drive. Verify the receiving thread is clean and properly tapped to M3 x 0.50 before installation. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless steel mating parts.
