Value Collection SCXX203008-050BX M3x0.5 Socket Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCXX203008-050BX is a metric hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. Built to DIN 912 standards, this screw features an M3 x 0.50 thread and an 8 mm length under head. The fastener is fully threaded and manufactured from Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Grade 316 material provides strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it well suited for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or marine conditions. Installation requires a hex key or Allen driver sized for an M3 socket head. This box contains 50 pieces per order.

This fastener is used in light mechanical, instrumentation, electronics enclosure, and precision equipment applications where a low-profile socket head and metric threading are required. The fully threaded M3 shank allows engagement along the entire fastener length, which is advantageous in shallow-tapped holes and thin material joints. Trade professionals, maintenance technicians, and assembly mechanics working with metric hardware will find this screw appropriate for both original equipment assembly and field repair work.

Key Features

• DIN 912 standard hex socket cap screw configuration
• M3 x 0.50 metric thread, fully threaded along the shank
• 8 mm length under head for shallow and standard-depth tapped holes
• Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no additional coating to affect thread tolerance
• Sold in a box of 50 pieces to support production and service quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 912 metric hex socket cap screw suitable for M3 x 0.50 tapped holes in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and precision equipment requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install with the appropriately sized metric hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket drive. Ensure the receiving threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Grade 316 stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound when threading into stainless steel tapped holes to prevent seizure. Do not exceed the torque appropriate for M3 stainless steel fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable assembly standards.
