304 Stainless Steel Hexagon Socket Head Cap Self Tapping Screw

Product Description

304 Stainless Steel Hexagon Socket Head Cap Self Tapping Screw is recommended for plastic or thin metal housings and related OEM fastening projects where Stainless steel, Plain, and Hex Socket Head need to match the final assembly rather than a generic stock screw.

Typical Applications

• Plastic or thin metal housings.
• Pilot-hole assemblies needing thread forming.
• Electronics, brackets and appliance panels.

Parameter Notes for RFQ Review

• Stainless steel supports corrosion resistance and clean appearance in equipment, electronics and outdoor-facing assemblies.
• Plain, polished or passivated finishes are suitable when the base material appearance and clean surface are preferred.
• A hex or hex socket style supports higher installation torque and controlled tightening.
• The listed thread range (M1.7 M2 M2.3 M2.5 M2.6 M3 M3.5 M4 M5) indicates which metric or gauge families can be reviewed for the same product style. The length range (4mm-60mm) should be checked against clamping thickness, thread engagement and clearance behind the assembly.
• Drive note: Hex socket / Allen drive. Confirm driver access, assembly torque and whether service teams need matching tools.

Suitable OEM / RFQ Needs

Best fit for OEM/RFQ buyers who need plastic or thin metal housings, pilot-hole assemblies needing thread forming, with review of material (Stainless steel), finish (Plain), thread range (M1.7 M2 M2.3 M2.5 M2.6 M3 M3.5 M4 M5) and length (4mm-60mm). Send drawings, target quantity, application load/environment and any sample photos for a practical quotation.

Buyer Questions

• Can this product be customized from a drawing or sample? Yes. XiYu can review drawings or samples for custom dimensions, material, finish, head style and production quantity. For this item, start from the listed Stainless steel / Plain direction and confirm any changes in the RFQ.
• Does this screw need a pilot hole? Self-drilling styles can reduce or remove the pre-drilling step in suitable sheet metal. Self-tapping or thread-forming styles may still need a pilot hole depending on material thickness and hardness.
• What RFQ information helps speed up quotation? Provide thread size (M1.7 M2 M2.3 M2.5 M2.6 M3 M3.5 M4 M5), length (4mm-60mm), material, finish, drawing or photo, target quantity, application environment and whether samples are required.
• Can samples be reviewed before bulk production? Sample review can be discussed for custom or production RFQs. For appearance-critical or functional screws, sample approval helps confirm finish, fit and assembly behavior before mass production.
