❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between button head and socket head screws? 🔩
A: Button head screws have a rounded, low-profile head with a smaller height-to-diameter ratio compared to standard socket head screws. They provide a sleeker appearance, reduced snagging risk, and are ideal for applications where aesthetics and smooth surfaces are important. Standard socket heads are taller and have sharper edges.
Q: Are these suitable for outdoor or marine applications? 🚤
A: Yes! Our A2 stainless steel button head screws offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor, marine, and high-moisture environments. The A2-70 grade provides good protection against rust and corrosion in most atmospheric conditions, though for saltwater immersion, A4 (316) stainless might be preferred for maximum resistance.
Q: What Allen key size do I need? 🔑
A: These button-head Allen screws require a 3mm Allen key (also called a hex key). We recommend using a high-quality, precision-made Allen key or hex driver bit to ensure proper engagement with the socket and prevent rounding of the internal hex. L-keys, T-handles, or power drivers with hex bits all work well.
Q: What is the ISO7380 standard? 🌍
A: ISO7380 is an International Organization for Standardization specification that defines the dimensions, tolerances, and technical requirements for button head socket screws. This international standard ensures consistent quality, compatibility, and performance across manufacturers worldwide, providing reliability and interchangeability.
Q: Can these be used in aluminum or softer materials? ⚙️
A: Yes, absolutely. The fully threaded design provides excellent holding power in softer materials like aluminum, plastic, or wood. The broad head diameter (9.5mm) distributes clamping force effectively, reducing the risk of pull-through in softer substrates. For critical applications in soft materials, consider using washers for additional load distribution.
Q: How do I measure the length I need? 📐
A: For button head Allen screws, length is measured from the underside of the head (where it contacts the work surface) to the tip of the screw. The head height (2.75mm) is not included in the length measurement. This standard measurement ensures you select the correct thread engagement length for your specific application.
