M3 x 10 mm Security Torx Machine Screw, 304 Stainless Steel - YCXSA2M3X10

Made in 304 (A2) stainless steel, the Security Countersunk Torx Machine Screw is a Torx security screw with a Torx recess that includes a centre pin, so it needs a matching security Torx bit to drive it. It has a machine thread for a nut or tapped hole..

This listing has 27 variants covering sizes M3 to M8 and lengths 6 mm to 80 mm. Every size comes in packs of 100.

A2 (304) stainless steel is the common general-purpose austenitic grade. It resists corrosion well indoors, in fresh water and in most general outdoor conditions, but it is not recommended where chlorides are present, such as coastal, pool and marine settings. Choose A4 (316) there. Metric sizes are written M followed by the nominal thread diameter in millimetres, so M10 is a 10 mm thread.

Stainless threads can gall (seize) when tightened under load or at speed. A smear of anti-seize on the thread and a steady tightening speed reduce the risk.
