Value Collection SCX205050-100BX M5x0.80 Socket Cap Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCX205050-100BX is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. This screw features an M5 x 0.80 thread profile with a 50 mm length under head and is partially threaded, allowing it to seat firmly in tapped holes while providing clamping force through the unthreaded shank. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2 per DIN 912), it resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, and outdoor environments. The hex socket drive requires a standard Allen key or hex bit, enabling high torque application in confined spaces. This box contains 100 screws, sold as a single unit.

This fastener is suited for general mechanical assembly, equipment fabrication, machine building, and maintenance applications where metric threading and corrosion resistance are required. Partially threaded shanks are commonly specified when clamping two or more components together without threading through both pieces. The DIN 912 standard ensures dimensional consistency with other metric hardware sourced globally, making these screws a reliable drop-in choice for engineered assemblies and field repairs across manufacturing, plumbing, HVAC equipment mounting, and electrical enclosure work.

Key Features

• M5 x 0.80 metric thread, 50 mm length under head
• Partially threaded shank per DIN 912 specification
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Hex socket (Allen) drive for high-torque installation in tight spaces
• Box of 100 screws for bench stock or job-site supply

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw for use in any M5 x 0.80 tapped hole requiring a partially threaded fastener with an Allen drive head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians using a 4 mm hex key or hex socket bit. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for the thread size and material grade of the mating part. For stainless fasteners, apply an anti-galling lubricant to the threads before installation to reduce the risk of thread seizure.
