What is a DIN 85 A2 Stainless Slotted Pan Head Machine Screw?
DIN 85 machine screws are metric fasteners featuring a pan head with a slotted drive. The pan head has a broad, slightly domed profile with a flat bearing surface underneath, providing excellent load distribution without requiring a countersunk hole.
The slotted drive is one of the oldest and most widely recognized drive styles, making these screws ideal for restoration work, legacy equipment, and applications where a traditional fastener appearance is desired. Screw length is measured from underneath the head to the tip.
DIN 85 screws are designed for use with tapped holes or metric machine thread nuts. They are also known as slotted pan head machine screws, slotted round head machine screws, straight slot machine screws, and metric pan head screws.
What material is a DIN 85 A2 slotted machine screw made from?
DIN 85 screws are manufactured from A2 stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance together with dependable mechanical strength for general-purpose fastening applications. A2 stainless steel performs well in humid and mildly corrosive environments while resisting rust and oxidation.
The natural stainless finish offers long-term durability, an attractive appearance, and minimal maintenance, making these screws suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The slotted drive remains compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is frequently specified for restoration projects, maintenance work, and applications where a traditional drive style is preferred.
Why choose an A2 stainless DIN 85 slotted machine screw?
A2 stainless DIN 85 screws offer an excellent balance of corrosion resistance, traditional styling, and dependable fastening performance. The pan head provides a generous bearing surface that distributes clamping force evenly without requiring a countersunk hole, while the slotted drive delivers a classic appearance that complements vintage equipment, architectural hardware, and decorative assemblies.
Combined with the corrosion resistance of A2 stainless steel, these screws are an excellent choice for long-term service in a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications.
Where are DIN 85 A2 stainless slotted machine screws commonly used?
DIN 85 A2 stainless slotted pan head machine screws are widely used in electrical equipment, control panels, instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, furniture manufacturing, lighting fixtures, architectural hardware, restoration projects, machinery, appliance manufacturing, transportation equipment, and general industrial assemblies.
