Flat Head Metric Socket Screws
Flat Head Socket Screws are the fastener of choice for high-precision, high-strength assemblies. The V-shaped 82° head allows the screw to be countersunk into the mating surface material, creating a completely flush profile. Because of their alloy composition and heat treatment, these flathead metric socket screws feature extremely high tensile and yield strength. A given size of a Flat Head Socket Screw may be comparable in strength to the next larger diameter of a common, low-carbon steel flathead machine screw. This has the unique advantage of potentially fewer screws needed in a particular design to achieve specific clamp loads. Fewer screws = lighter assemblies and reduced cost.
