M2 x 6 mm Socket Cap Screw, 304 Stainless Steel - SCSA2M2X6
The price shown is for the box.
Available
The Metric Hex Socket Cap Head Screw, 304 Stainless Steel is a cylindrical-head screw driven by a hex key (Allen key) set into the head. The recessed drive allows high tightening force in a compact space and the head can sit below the surface in a counterbore.
You can choose from 150 variants, covering sizes M2 to M16 and lengths 6 mm to 150 mm. Variants are supplied in packs of 25 to 100, depending on size.
The A2 (304) stainless material suits indoor, fresh water and typical outdoor use. Where the fastening is exposed to salt air, pool chemicals or marine conditions, A4 (316) is the grade to use instead. Metric sizes are written M followed by the nominal thread diameter in millimetres, so M10 is a 10 mm thread.
In wet conditions, keep stainless steel apart from aluminium and galvanised steel with a washer or sleeve, to reduce the risk of galvanic corrosion.

Selecting the right option
Use a hex key that fits the socket exactly, because a loose key rounds out the recess. Stainless socket screws are not the same strength as alloy-steel socket screws, so do not substitute them where the joint depends on high-tensile strength. Use anti-seize on the thread. Near the coast, around pools or in marine settings, use the A4 (316) version instead: Metric Hex Socket Cap Head Screw - 316 Stainless Steel.
