Value Collection SCX203035-050BX M3 X 0.50 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX203035-050BX is a metric hex socket cap screw engineered for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. It features an M3 x 0.50 thread size with a 35 mm length under the head and is partially threaded along the shank. The drive type is internal hex, requiring an Allen key or hex bit driver for installation. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener delivers reliable corrosion resistance in a compact M3 form factor. Compliance with DIN 912 ensures dimensional consistency across the production run. Sold in a minimum quantity of 50 per order.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, instrumentation brackets, pump housings, and enclosure fabrication where a low-profile socket head and metric threading are required. The M3 x 0.50 thread pitch is a standard metric fine-coarse fastener common in precision equipment, electronics enclosures, and fluid-handling components. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wet or corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would be unsuitable. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working in industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing settings regularly specify this fastener type.

Key Features

• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to flake or degrade in service
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for shop and job-site use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for M3 x 0.50 threaded holes in mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and equipment fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized hex key or Allen bit driver rated for the M3 drive. Verify thread engagement depth in the mating component before applying torque. When installing into aluminum or plastic, take care not to cross-thread or overtighten, as the stainless steel fastener is harder than many mating materials. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for M3 fasteners.
