Product Description
M12 Metric Fine Class 12.9 Self-Colour Socket Cap Set Screws
These M12 metric fine socket cap set screws are manufactured from high-tensile class 12.9 steel and feature a fully threaded shank. They are available with either an M12 x 1.5mm fine thread or an M12 x 1.25mm extra-fine thread.
The cylindrical cap head incorporates a 10mm internal hexagon socket for installation using an Allen key or hex bit. Their fine thread provides precise adjustment and increased thread engagement over a given axial distance compared with a standard M12 x 1.75mm coarse thread.
These screws use the traditional DIN 912 socket cap head pattern. DIN 912 has been replaced by ISO 4762 for standard coarse-pitch socket head cap screws; however, these fine-pitch versions should be described as having DIN 912 / ISO 4762 pattern head dimensions rather than claiming complete ISO 4762 conformity.

Installation Guidance
Check the required thread pitch before ordering. M12 x 1.5mm, M12 x 1.25mm and standard M12 x 1.75mm threads are not interchangeable. Attempting to fit the wrong pitch can damage both components.
Install using a correctly fitting 10mm hexagon key or socket bit. Tightening torque should be selected according to the thread pitch, lubrication, mating material, thread engagement and requirements of the assembly.
Self-colour steel does not have the corrosion protection provided by zinc plating or stainless steel. A suitable oil, grease, protective coating or controlled dry environment may be required to reduce surface corrosion.
Please select the required thread pitch, screw length and pack quantity from the available options.
