FULLERKREG ISO 7380-2 Grade 10.9 Zinc CR3 Flanged Button Head Socket Cap Screws
FULLERKREG ISO 7380-2 Grade 10.9 Zinc CR3 Flanged Button Head Socket Cap Screws are high-strength fasteners featuring a low-profile dome-shaped button head with an integrated flange and a hexagon socket drive. Manufactured from 10B21 boron-alloyed steel with an electroplated zinc CR3 (trivalent chromate) surface treatment, these screws combine Grade 10.9 tensile strength (min. 1,040 MPa) with the engineering advantages of an integrated flange, reliable corrosion resistance, and full RoHS environmental compliance. The bright silver zinc finish provides a professional appearance while the flange eliminates the need for a separate washer in most applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between ISO 7380-1 and ISO 7380-2?
ISO 7380-1 is the plain button head socket cap screw with no flange. ISO 7380-2 adds an integrated flange under the button head, which significantly increases the bearing surface area, acts as a built-in washer, and provides superior pull-through resistance.
Q: What is the difference between Zinc CR3 and traditional yellow zinc (Cr6+)?
Traditional yellow zinc chromate uses hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), which is restricted under EU RoHS and REACH regulations. Zinc CR3 uses trivalent chromium (Cr3+), providing equivalent corrosion protection without any restricted substances. CR3 is the environmentally compliant replacement.
Q: Do I still need a washer with ISO 7380-2 flanged button head screws?
In most applications, no. The integrated flange provides sufficient bearing area to replace a standard flat washer, reducing part count and assembly time.
Q: Can Grade 10.9 flanged button head screws handle the same torque as Grade 10.9 socket cap screws?
No. Due to the shallower socket depth in the button head design, the maximum recommended tightening torque is lower than for standard socket cap screws (DIN 912) of the same grade. Always use ISO 7380-2 specific torque values.
Q: Can I get RoHS compliance documentation and material certificates?
Yes. FULLERKREG provides RoHS compliance declarations, PPAP reports, material certificates, hardness test reports, and tensile test reports upon request.
