Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this M5x115mm brass hex head cap screw features a substantial 29mm head width for optimal torque application and secure seating. Manufactured from premium brass, it exhibits excellent inherent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for humid, chemical, or marine environments. The material's non-sparking properties are advantageous in potentially explosive atmospheres. Thread pitch and tolerances conform to industry standards, ensuring compatibility with M5 tapped holes and nuts. Its high tensile strength, while not comparable to steel, is sufficient for numerous non-structural and decorative fastening requirements.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Cross-threading due to improper initial engagement.Always start threading by hand for several turns to ensure proper alignment before using a tool.
Over-tightening, which can strip threads or deform the workpiece.Tighten to a snug fit and avoid excessive force. Consult torque specifications if critical.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and fittings
  • Electrical connections and enclosures
  • Decorative architectural elements

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass has lower tensile strength than steel; do not use for critical structural loads.
  • While corrosion-resistant, brass can still react with certain aggressive chemicals. Verify compatibility.
