Low Head Socket With Guide Point (DIN 6912)

Q: What is DIN 6912?

A: DIN 6912 specifies Low Head Pilot Recess Cap Screws. These screws feature a low-profile head design, which provides a sleek appearance and saves space in tight assemblies.

A key characteristic is the pilot recess—a cylindrical indentation in the center of the drive. This recess offers several functional benefits: it improves tool engagement, allows the use of specialized drivers, and can enable modifications for tamper-resistant applications.

Q: What tool is used to tighten DIN 6912 screws?

A: The recommended tool for DIN 6912 screws is the DIN 6911 L-key, which has an extended tip designed to fit securely into the pilot recess. This provides a firm grip and allows one-handed installation, even in hard-to-reach areas.

While standard hex keys (L-keys) can also be used, they do not engage the pilot recess and therefore offer less secure grip compared to DIN 6911 keys.

Q: What is the difference between DIN 6912 and DIN 7984?

Similarity:

Both standards define low-head cap screws.

Differences:
