Detailed Engineering Specifications

A high-performance industrial component, this M4x104mm hex head cap screw is manufactured from solid brass, offering exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in marine, chemical, and high-humidity settings. The nominal diameter is M4, with a total length of 104mm, and a generous head width of 32mm, facilitating secure and stable assembly. Brass's non-magnetic properties and good electrical conductivity make it suitable for sensitive electronic and electrical applications where ferrous materials are undesirable. Its inherent malleability allows for effective sealing in certain joint designs.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force, leading to thread stripping or component damage.Refer to material strength charts or conduct load testing to determine the appropriate torque specification for the application.
Incorrect thread engagement, resulting in a weak or unreliable connection.Verify that the screw threads fully engage with the mating threads for at least 1.5 to 2 times the screw's nominal diameter.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and fixtures
  • Electrical connectors and enclosures
  • Decorative architectural elements
  • Corrosive environment assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass is a softer material than steel; avoid applications requiring extreme tensile strength or shear resistance without proper engineering analysis.
  • While brass offers good corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to certain aggressive chemicals may degrade the material. Consult compatibility charts.
