Value Collection SCXX202016-050BX M2 Hex Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCXX202016-050BX is an M2 x 0.40 metric hex socket cap screw with a 16 mm length under head. It is fully threaded and manufactured from 316 stainless steel (Austenitic Grade A4), meeting DIN 912 fastener standards. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of the 316 alloy. This screw is suited for precision mechanical assemblies, marine-grade applications, and any installation environment where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are critical. Installation requires a standard hex key or Allen driver sized for M2 socket cap fasteners. These are sold in minimum order quantities of 50 pieces.

M2 x 0.40 hex socket cap screws at 16 mm length under head are commonly used in compact mechanical assemblies, instrumentation enclosures, electronics hardware, and light structural fastening where space constraints require a low-profile driving interface. The fully threaded shank provides consistent thread engagement across the full bearing length. Grade A4 316 stainless construction makes this screw well suited for wet environments, chemical exposure, and outdoor or marine installations where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode. These screws are installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance technicians across industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• M2 x 0.40 metric thread, fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• 16 mm length under head provides adequate grip in compact assemblies
• 316 stainless steel, Austenitic Grade A4 for superior corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to crack, peel, or contaminate threads
• Meets DIN 912 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Hex socket drive reduces cam-out risk in tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant M2 x 0.40 hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a fully threaded, 16 mm length-under-head metric fastener with a hex socket drive interface.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or Allen bit driver for M2 socket cap screws. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling on stainless fasteners. Stainless steel fasteners can be susceptible to galling under high torque — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads is standard practice. Power down any equipment before fastener service on energized assemblies.
