M6 x 1.00p Metric Coarse Plain Black Uncoated Class 12.9 Button Head Socket (4mm Key) Screws ISO 7380

About Button Head Socket Screws

Button Head Socket Screws have a low-profile rounded dome head with a hex socket (Allen key) drive. Lower head profile than a socket cap screw and a softer visual finish than a countersunk, used where the bolt head will be visible but the customer wants minimal protrusion. Lower install torque rating than a socket cap (about 70 to 80 percent at the same diameter), so use for decorative or moderate-load assemblies rather than maximum-clamp joints. Manufactured to ISO 7380 (metric) or ANSI B18.3 (imperial).

Recommended use Indoor, oiled or sacrificial-wear applications where the fastener is replaced periodically. Common in machinery internals, ground-engaging equipment subject to wear, and any high-tensile assembly that will be painted, oiled or sealed after install.

Frequently Asked Questions

Material & Coating

Plain Black Uncoated Carbon steel. No corrosion protection. The dark colour is a thin oxide layer from the heat treatment process, not a corrosion barrier. Appearance varies from light grey to dark black across batches due to the heat treatment process, so colour consistency is not guaranteed between orders.

Important Will corrode rapidly in any wet or humid environment. NOT suitable for outdoor or coastal use without a separate coating.

Class Metric fasteners are classified as class 2, 4.6, 8.8, 10.9, 12.9, 14.9. See the head marking chart and full strength table.

Thread Pitch & Terminology

Thread Pitch (Metric) Metric fasteners measure thread pitch as the distance between thread peaks, expressed in millimetres. Metric also branches into three series: coarse (the default; widest tolerance, easiest to tap), fine (a tighter pitch for higher clamp load or thinner walls), and extra fine (the tightest pitch, used for thin-wall tube, precision instruments, and aerospace fittings where vibration loosening must be minimised). Always match the series as well as the size - a metric fine nut will not engage a metric coarse bolt of the same diameter, and an extra fine nut will not engage either. This product has a 1.00mm coarse pitch, meaning the peaks are 1.00mm apart.

How to Measure

Fastener Length This product has a head that sits on top of the material, so the length is measured from directly under the head to the tip of the thread. The head itself is not included in the size.

Thread Length On a screw the thread length runs from the start of the unthreaded section (called the shank) to the end of the thread. To view the thread length for this product, select a length above.
