Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this M6x101mm hex head cap screw is manufactured from high-grade brass (material specification to be confirmed per industry standard, e.g., UNS C36000). The material provides excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine and humid environments, and superior electrical conductivity. The M6 thread pitch ensures compatibility with standard metric components, and the 101mm length allows for greater material grip. The 13mm hex head offers ample surface area for standard wrenches and sockets, facilitating secure fastening and disassembly.
