Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M4 x 121mm hex head cap screw features a substantial 34mm head width for enhanced torque application and surface contact. Constructed from high-grade brass (e.g., UNS C36000 / Brass 360), it exhibits excellent machinability, natural corrosion resistance, and non-sparking properties, making it ideal for environments where rust is a concern or where electrical conductivity needs to be mitigated. The M4 thread pitch conforms to international standards, ensuring compatibility with standard M4 nuts and tapped holes. This fastener is designed for applications requiring strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal where standard steel fasteners may be unsuitable.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the brass screw, which can lead to thread stripping or deformation.Use a torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for M4 brass fasteners to prevent damage.
Using the wrong size hex key, resulting in cam-out and potential damage to the screw head.Always select a hex key that precisely fits the hex socket of the cap screw.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and fittings
  • Electrical enclosures and components
  • Decorative and architectural fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass is a relatively soft metal and may deform under excessive force; use appropriate torque.
  • While corrosion-resistant, brass can tarnish over time. Consider protective coatings or sealants for prolonged aesthetic requirements.
