Detail & Specs
M3X0.5 - Allen Socket LOW Head Cap Screw
A2-50 Stainless Steel / DIN 7984
Low Profile socket head bolts are designed to be used in tight work areas where a reduced head height is required. An allen wrench is used to install these screws, allowing access into spaces where a traditional external hex drive bolt would not fit.
Partially threaded socket cap bolts have an unthreaded length under the head that is stronger than the threaded portion of the bolt. The unthreaded / threaded length dimensions vary by diameter. Fully threaded socket cap screws are meant to engage the entire length with a tapped hole.
These bolts can be used with many different styles of locking and non-locking nuts, tightly clamping together whatever the cap screw is being used to secure.
