M3 x 12mm Captive Socket Cap Head Screw | Similar to DIN 912 | A2 Stainless Steel
Providing a retained fixing for manufacturing equipment, jigs and maintenance panels, this M3 x 12mm retained socket cap screw combines a hex socket cap head with a purpose-designed captive diameter. The format helps keep the screw with the assembly during inspection, adjustment or maintenance when used with a compatible retention method. A2 Stainless Steel provides good corrosion resistance for general engineering, machinery, equipment and indoor or suitably protected external applications.
What Are Captive Socket Cap Head Screws?
Captive Socket Cap Head Screws are specialist fasteners designed to stay attached to a panel, cover or component after the threaded portion has been loosened. A reduced captive section works with a compatible panel, washer, sleeve or retaining feature so the screw can remain retained instead of falling free.
Common Applications
- Jigs and Fixtures: Keeps adjustment or access fasteners associated with suitable workshop fixtures and production tooling.
- Laboratory Equipment: Supports retained panel fixing on instruments and serviceable technical equipment.
- Fabricated Housings: Provides a captive fastening format for custom covers, guards and equipment enclosures.
- General Engineering: Useful where a screw needs to remain attached to the assembly after disengaging from its mating thread.
