Value Collection SCXX202516-050BX M2.5x0.45 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCXX202516-050BX is a fully threaded socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where space constraints demand a low-profile, high-strength fastener. The screw features an M2.5 x 0.45 thread size with a 16 mm length under head and is driven by a hex socket to allow high torque application in tight clearances. Manufactured from 316 austenitic stainless steel to DIN 912 standards, this fastener delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or marine environments. It is well suited for instrumentation, electronics enclosures, medical equipment, and light mechanical assemblies requiring reliable clamping force at small diameters.

This socket cap screw is used in applications that require a compact, recessed drive fastener in corrosion-prone or cleanroom environments. The 316 stainless steel grade with bright uncoated finish makes it appropriate for food-processing equipment, laboratory instruments, marine hardware, and precision mechanical assemblies. The small M2.5 thread diameter is common in electronic subassemblies, sensor mounts, and miniature structural connections. It is installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals across industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• M2.5 x 0.45 thread with 16 mm length under head for precise small-diameter fastening
• Fully threaded shank allows maximum thread engagement across the full grip range
• Hex socket drive enables high torque input in recessed or confined spaces
• 316 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A4) provides superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances and resists contamination buildup
• Manufactured to DIN 912 standard for consistent geometry and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912 standard socket cap screw compatible with M2.5 x 0.45 threaded holes in any application requiring a hex socket drive fastener of this thread pitch and length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized hex key or hex bit driver sized for M2.5 socket cap screws. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. When installing 316 stainless fasteners into stainless or aluminum mating parts, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Follow applicable assembly standards or equipment manufacturer torque guidance for M2.5 fasteners to avoid stripping the small thread form.
