Value Collection SS6X02510-050BX Set Screw M2.5x0.45x10mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X02510-050BX is a metric cup point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, conforming to DIN 916. The screw features an M2.5 x 0.45 thread with a 10 mm overall length and is driven by a 1.30 mm hex key. The cup point geometry bites into the mating shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement without requiring a nut or through-hole. Grade A2 stainless construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, marine, and chemically exposed environments. These fasteners are sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package and are used wherever a small-diameter, headless clamping fastener is required in precision assemblies.

Cup point set screws in this size range are commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, HVAC control linkages, small motor shaft collars, and precision equipment where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The M2.5 thread size is standard in metric assemblies across industrial, electrical, and mechanical applications. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians working on equipment with metric fastener standards will find this screw compatible with common DIN 916 specifications. The minimum order quantity of 50 makes this suitable for service shops and contractors who maintain fastener stock for field repairs.

Key Features

• M2.5 x 0.45 metric thread, 10 mm overall length per DIN 916 standard
• Cup point geometry provides positive shaft grip and resists loosening under vibration
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 1.30 mm hex key drive for precise torque application in tight spaces
• Headless design sits flush or below surface, eliminating snag points in assemblies
• Sold in multiples of 50 units, suited for shop stock and bulk service use

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 standard metric set screw for use in any M2.5 x 0.45 threaded application requiring a cup point, headless configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanic, millwright, or instrumentation technician using a 1.30 mm hex key. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing components that use these fasteners. Avoid over-tightening, as the small thread diameter is susceptible to galling and thread damage, particularly in stainless-to-stainless assemblies. Applying a small amount of anti-seize compound is a common practice to prevent galling when threading stainless fasteners into stainless receivers.
