Product Description

Product Description & Key Specifications

DIN 912 / ISO 4762 stainless socket head cap screws are supplied in SS304 / SS316 with A2-70 / A4-80 grade options for compact, high-access internal-hex fastening. Common supply range is M3-M24 with passivated finish for equipment frames, panels, machinery covers and precision stainless assemblies.

Socket head cap screws are selected when the assembly needs higher drive engagement than small external heads can provide, or where the screw must fit inside counterbored holes or compact equipment layouts. Confirm head diameter, head height, socket size, thread length and clearance before ordering.

SS304 / A2 is suitable for general equipment and outdoor stainless assemblies, while SS316 / A4 is preferred for marine, washdown, chloride and hygienic service. A4-80 can be specified when a higher-strength stainless socket screw is required and size availability is confirmed.

FAQ

Common Questions Before RFQ

Is DIN 912 the same as ISO 4762?

DIN 912 and ISO 4762 are common references for socket head cap screws. Many drawings use DIN 912, while ISO 4762 is the international reference. Confirm dimensions, tolerance and marking before ordering.

Should I choose SS304 or SS316 socket head cap screws?

SS304 / A2 is suitable for general corrosion-resistant assemblies. SS316 / A4 is preferred for marine, coastal, washdown, chemical or chloride-exposed environments.

What socket screw sizes are commonly requested?

Common RFQ models include M4 x 12, M5 x 16, M6 x 20, M8 x 25, M10 x 30 and M12 x 40. Final length, thread length and certificate requirements should be confirmed by drawing.

Can A4-80 socket head cap screws be supplied?

Yes. A4-80 stainless socket head cap screws can be supplied when higher stainless strength and chloride resistance are required. Size availability should be confirmed during RFQ.

Are passivated socket screws available?

Yes. Passivated SS304 and SS316 socket head cap screws are available for corrosion-resistant project supply.
