Value Collection SCXX203016-050BX M3 Hex Socket Cap Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCXX203016-050BX is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and industrial equipment. Sized M3 x 0.50 with a 16 mm length under head, this screw is driven with a hex (Allen) key and meets DIN 912 dimensional standards. It is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, Austenitic Grade A4, providing strong resistance to corrosion in wet, marine, and chemically exposed environments. The uncoated bright finish keeps tolerances tight and makes inspection straightforward. This box contains 50 pieces.

This fastener is suited for assemblies where corrosion resistance is critical, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, medical devices, and outdoor structural components. The M3 thread size and 16 mm under-head length are common in small-frame mechanical and electronic enclosure work. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and OEM assembly teams routinely specify Grade A4 316 stainless cap screws in these environments. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement in shallow clearance holes.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 thread with 16 mm length under head for precise fit in small-frame assemblies
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the entire clamped joint
• 316 stainless steel, Grade A4 Austenitic for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• Hex socket drive (Allen key) allows high torque in tight clearances
• Meets DIN 912 fastener standard for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Bright uncoated finish maintains close tolerances and simplifies visual inspection

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant M3 x 0.50 hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a standard metric fully threaded cap screw of this size and thread pitch.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized metric hex key or Allen driver; using an undersized driver risks rounding the socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener replacement in electrical or electronic enclosures. For stainless fasteners, apply an anti-galling lubricant to prevent thread seizure, especially in stainless-to-stainless joints.
