Metallics JMSHC512SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hex key do I need to drive the Metallics JMSHC512SS M5 socket cap screw?
A 4mm hex key. The socket on this M5 cap screw measures 4.020 to 4.084 across the flats, so a standard 4mm metric Allen wrench or bit seats properly. An imperial 5/32 inch key is slightly undersize and will round the socket under torque, so stay with metric drivers.
2) Does the M5 x 12mm Metallics cap screw use coarse or fine metric thread?
Coarse. The thread pitch is 0.8mm, which is the standard M5 x 0.8 coarse thread, so it mates with any standard M5 coarse tapped hole or nut. If your equipment is tapped M5 x 0.5 fine, this screw will not thread in.
3) Is this M5 socket cap screw stainless, and will it hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
Material is 18-8 stainless steel, the austenitic 300-series grade used for general corrosion resistance. That makes it suitable for damp and outdoor electrical work such as enclosure and strut hardware where a plain steel screw would rust. For constant salt exposure, 316 stainless is the step up.
4) How is the Metallics JMSHC512SS sold, by the piece or by the box?
It ships as a jar of 100 pieces, which is the order minimum (100 count). The packed jar weighs 0.78 lbs. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities of the MSHC socket cap screw series on request.
5) How strong is the M5 x 12mm cap screw, and can I use it on a structural or high-load connection?
The screw is rated Grade 12.9 with a minimum tensile strength of 1220 N/mm2 and a hardness of Rockwell C39-44. That is the top of the standard metric strength classes, suited to machinery and equipment joints that are torqued to high preload. It is not a substitute for a structural bolt called out to a specific building-code specification unless the spec names Class 12.9.
6) Is the socket head low profile enough to sit in a counterbore, or do I need a flat head screw?
This is a socket head cap screw, meaning a cylindrical head with an internal hex that drops into a standard counterbore but still stands proud of the surface unless the counterbore is deep enough. If you need the fastener dead flush with the face of the part, a flat (countersunk) socket screw with a chamfered seat is the correct choice instead.
7) Do these Metallics cap screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
The MSHC metric socket cap screws are flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in the manufacturer data, with country of origin listed as China. On a federally funded project, verify which clause your contract invokes, since origin and compliance flags are evaluated differently depending on the clause.
