M2 X 12MM Socket Head Cap Allen Screws

M2.5 x 12MM Socket Head Cap (Allen) Screws (Black Oxide) provide superior strength and a clean, professional finish for your demanding mechanical assemblies. These precision fasteners feature an internal hex drive (Allen drive) that allows you to apply high torque, consequently ensuring a secure and vibration-resistant joint, which is often crucial in compact machinery. Fabricated from high-tensile steel, these cap screws meet strict metric standards, offering reliability far beyond standard machine screws. Furthermore, the socket head design requires minimal clearance around the head, making them ideal for tight spaces and recessed fastening applications. You can use these M2.5 screws in electronics, robotics, 3D printing, and fine instrument manufacturing where precision and strength are paramount.

Key Features:

• High Tensile Strength: Manufactured from alloy steel (Grade 10.9 or equivalent), these screws handle significant load stress without yielding, ensuring robust structural integrity.
• Socket Head Drive: The internal hex (Allen) drive minimizes slippage and permits greater tightening torque compared to Phillips or slotted drive types.
• Corrosion Resistance: The black oxide finish offers mild corrosion protection and reduces light reflection, providing a clean, aesthetic look.
• Precision Metric Threading: Features M2.5 metric coarse threading (0.45 mm pitch) for guaranteed fit and consistent fastening performance in standard metric tapped holes.
• Reduced Profile: The cylindrical socket head provides a low installed profile, crucial for components requiring close stacking or flush mounting.

Pinout and Wiring:

• Note: Since this is a mechanical fastener, pinout and wiring specifications are not applicable.
• Fastening Method: Use a 2mm Allen (hex) key to drive the screw into a matching M2.5 threaded hole or nut.
• Installation Tip: Apply a small amount of thread locker (e.g., Loctite) for assemblies subjected to constant vibration, however, ensure compatibility with surrounding materials.
