Countersunk Pozi Machine Screw - DIN 965 (ISO 7046), Stainless Steel, Grade 18/8 - (A2) 304, M5 X 8 MM

Overview

DIN 965 defines a countersunk machine screw with a cross recess drive. The countersunk head is designed to sit flush in a prepared countersink, while the cross recess provides better driver engagement than a plain slotted drive.

This selected size is specified with diameter M5, length 8 mm, thread M5, pitch 0.8 mm.

Sold in multiples of '200 pieces. 1 Box = '200 pieces.

Material, Grade & Strength

A2 stainless steel, commonly associated with 304 stainless, provides good general corrosion resistance for outdoor, clean industrial and food-related environments. Stainless threads can gall, so suitable anti-seize may be required.

Finish & Corrosion Protection

Corrosion resistance is provided by the stainless material itself rather than a plated coating.

Typical Uses

DIN 965 screws are used on covers, panels, electrical enclosures, sheet metal assemblies, machine guards and light-duty mechanical equipment where a flush finish and controlled screwdriver engagement are required.

Technical Tips

• Use the correct Phillips or Pozi driver type and size to avoid damaging the recess.
• Prepare a suitable countersink so the head seats flush.
• Do not use excessive torque on small countersunk machine screws.
• Match the material and finish to the corrosion exposure.
