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 M6, length 16 mm, thread M6, pitch 1 mm.

Sold in multiples of '500 pieces. 1 Box = '500 pieces.

Material, Grade & Strength

The material and grade should be selected according to clamp load, corrosion exposure, vibration, temperature and compatibility with mating components.

Finish & Corrosion Protection

Zinc plating provides sacrificial corrosion protection for indoor and general industrial environments. Yellow passivation adds the familiar yellow/gold finish and additional protection.

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.
