Value Collection SS6X02003-050BX M2 Set Screw Din 916

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X02003-050BX is a metric cup point set screw designed for precision fastening applications where a secure, flush, or recessed hold is required. Sized at M2 x 0.40 thread pitch with a 3 mm overall length, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel meeting Grade A2 classification, providing reliable corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The hex socket drive accepts a 0.90 mm hex key and conforms to DIN 916 dimensional standards. This fastener is used by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who require a standardized metric set screw in a corrosion-resistant material.

Cup point set screws like this one are commonly used to secure rotating components such as collars, pulleys, gears, and knobs onto shafts. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface to resist axial and rotational movement without requiring a through-hole. This part is well-suited for light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, HVAC component subassemblies, and electrical enclosure hardware where metric fasteners and stainless construction are specified. The M2 thread size targets small-format applications where compact fastening is critical.

Key Features

• M2 x 0.40 thread pitch conforms to metric thread standards
• 3 mm overall length for compact, low-profile fastening
• Cup point geometry provides positive bite into shaft or mating surface
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel with Grade A2 classification for corrosion resistance
• Hex socket drive sized at 0.90 mm per DIN 916 specification
• Sold in minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916-compliant metric cup point set screw for use in any application specifying an M2 x 0.40 x 3 mm hex socket set screw in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated 0.90 mm hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating shaft or surface is clean and free of burrs before driving the screw to prevent galling of the stainless threads. De-energize or lock out any rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws per applicable safety procedures. Avoid over-torquing small-diameter stainless fasteners, as 18-8 material is susceptible to galling if driven without lubrication or proper technique.
