What is a DIN 7985 A2 Stainless Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw?
DIN 7985 machine screws are metric fasteners featuring a pan head with a Phillips drive. The pan head has a broad, slightly domed profile with a flat bearing surface underneath, providing an attractive finished appearance while distributing clamping force over a larger contact area than countersunk screws. The Phillips drive allows for quick, reliable installation using widely available tools, making these screws suitable for both manual and automated assembly.
Screw length is measured from underneath the head to the tip. DIN 7985 screws are designed for use with tapped holes or metric machine thread nuts. They are also known as Phillips pan head machine screws, cross recessed pan head screws, Phillips machine screws, and pan head metric screws.
