Socket Button Screws (ISO 7380-1)

Introduction to ISO 7380-1 Hex Socket Button Head Screws

Hex socket button head screws, also known as hex socket pan head screws or pan head hex socket screws, are a common type of mechanical fastener. These screws are characterized by their compact structure, easy installation, high strength (primarily referring to alloy steel grades 10.9 and 12.9), and strong corrosion resistance (mainly stainless steel grades A2 and A4). They are suitable for securing and connecting various mechanical equipment and structures.

Hex socket design: The head of the pan head hex socket screw features a hex socket, which allows tightening with a hex key or torque wrench. This design minimizes slipping during tightening and enables higher torque application, making it suitable for situations requiring greater torque.

Pan head design: The screw head has a pan-shaped design, providing a larger contact area. This makes the screw easier to drive in or out and ensures better force transmission.

Question: What are Metric Socket Button Screws?

Answer: Metric Socket Button Screws, also known as Round Screws or Dome Screws, are low-profile fasteners with a rounded head that features no sharp edges for safety and aesthetics.
