Thin Hexagon Nuts (DIN 439) - Brass

Thin Hexagon Nuts (DIN 439) — Brass (HPb56-4)

FULLERKREG DIN 439 thin hexagon nuts in brass (HPb56-4 free-cutting brass) combine excellent machinability, good electrical conductivity, and natural corrosion resistance in a compact, reduced-height jam nut profile. Manufactured to DIN 439 / ISO 4035 standards, these brass thin nuts are widely used in electrical assemblies, instrumentation, plumbing fittings, and precision mechanical applications where non-magnetic, non-sparking, or conductive fasteners are required. Available in natural brass finish and whitened (bright) finish.
