Button Head Slotted Machine Screws in A2 Stainless Steel — M3, M4 & M5 with Corrosion-Resistant Finish

When you need a fastener that combines a clean, low-profile appearance with reliable corrosion resistance — and you want to drive it with a standard flat-blade screwdriver without hunting for a hex key — A2 stainless steel button head slotted machine screws are a practical, versatile choice. Woodworkers, furniture makers, electronics assemblers, and outdoor fixture installers frequently reach for button head slotted screws when the rounded dome head needs to look good on a visible surface and the assembly environment involves moisture or humidity.

Each screw features a low-profile domed button head with a slotted (flat-blade) drive recess, manufactured from A2 stainless steel (304 grade) to the GB67 standard. Thread diameters available are M3, M4, and M5, with lengths ranging from 5mm (≈3/16") to 30mm (≈1-3/16"), covering the most common sizes for light engineering, furniture hardware, and enclosure assembly. Available in packs of 10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces, making it easy to order the right quantity for prototyping, repair, or small-batch production.

These A2 stainless steel button head slotted screws are commonly used in outdoor furniture and garden fixture assembly where corrosion resistance is needed alongside a clean aesthetic; in electronics enclosures and instrument panels where a rounded, snag-free head profile is preferred; and in woodworking and cabinetry projects where a flat-blade drive is more convenient than a hex key and the domed head provides a finished, decorative appearance.

🔩 Compatibility: ISO metric coarse thread (M3, M4, M5) per GB67 standard. Fits standard metric nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes per ISO 68-1. Requires a flat-blade (slotted) screwdriver — blade width to match slot: typically 4mm for M3, 5.5mm for M4, 6.5mm for M5. Not compatible with UNC/UNF inch-thread fasteners.

✅ Key Features of These Button Head Slotted Machine Screws

  • 🛠️A2 Stainless Steel Construction — Made from 304-grade (A2) stainless steel, these button head slotted screws resist rust and oxidation in outdoor, humid, and mildly corrosive environments — a reliable choice for garden furniture, outdoor fixtures, and damp interior applications where carbon steel fasteners would corrode.
  • 🔘Low-Profile Domed Button Head — The rounded button head sits above the surface with no sharp edges, providing a smooth, finished appearance on visible assemblies. The low-profile dome is less likely to snag clothing or wiring than a pan head, making it a practical choice for furniture hardware and enclosure panels.
  • 🔧Flat-Blade (Slotted) Drive — The slotted recess is compatible with any standard flat-head screwdriver — no hex key or specialty bit required. This makes these screws easy to install and remove in the field or workshop without specialized tooling, a practical advantage for maintenance and repair applications.
  • 📐M3 to M5 Size Range, 5–30mm Lengths — Available in M3, M4, and M5 thread diameters with lengths from 5mm (≈3/16") to 30mm (≈1-3/16"), covering the most common sizes for light engineering, electronics assembly, and furniture hardware without needing to source from multiple suppliers.
  • ⚙️GB67 Standard Machine Thread — Manufactured to the GB67 standard with ISO metric coarse threads, ensuring consistent thread engagement with standard metric nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes — not self-tapping, so a pre-tapped hole or nut is required for proper installation.
  • 📦Flexible Pack Quantities — Choose from 10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces per order, making it straightforward to source exactly what you need for a single repair job, a prototype build, or a small production run without overstocking.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right length for a button head slotted machine screw?

For button head screws, the listed length is the shank length only — the domed head sits above the surface. Choose a length that provides adequate thread engagement in the mating material: generally at least 1.5× the screw diameter for metal, and 2–3× for softer materials. For reference: 5mm ≈3/16", 8mm ≈5/16", 10mm ≈3/8", 16mm ≈5/8", 20mm ≈3/4", 25mm ≈1", 30mm ≈1-3/16".

What is the load capacity of A2 stainless steel button head screws?

A2 stainless steel (304 grade) generally has a tensile strength of around 500–700 MPa depending on the property class. Button head screws typically have a lower drive torque limit than socket cap or hex head screws of the same diameter due to the shallower head height. They are generally suited for light to medium-duty fastening where corrosion resistance is a priority. For high-load structural applications, a hex head or socket cap screw in a higher property class is typically recommended.

Are A2 stainless steel screws suitable for outdoor or marine use?

A2 stainless steel (304) provides good corrosion resistance in most outdoor and mildly humid environments, making it a common choice for outdoor furniture, garden fixtures, and general exterior applications. However, for marine environments or areas with prolonged salt spray exposure, A4 stainless steel (316 grade) is generally recommended for superior chloride resistance.

What thread standard do these screws use — are they compatible with standard metric nuts?

These screws follow the GB67 standard with ISO metric coarse threads — M3, M4, and M5. They are compatible with standard metric nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes per ISO 68-1. They are not compatible with UNC or UNF inch-thread fasteners.

What screwdriver do I need for these slotted button head screws?

These screws use a standard flat-blade (slotted) drive. Use a flat-head screwdriver with a blade width that fits snugly in the slot without overhanging the head — typically a 0.8×4mm blade for M3, a 1.0×5.5mm blade for M4, and a 1.2×6.5mm blade for M5. Using an oversized blade risks damaging the surrounding material or the screw head.

Why choose a button head slotted screw over a pan head or flat head screw?

A button head screw has a low-profile domed head that sits above the surface, providing a smooth, rounded appearance with no sharp edges — making it a good choice for visible fastening in furniture, enclosures, and decorative applications where aesthetics matter. Pan head screws have a flatter, wider head. Flat head (countersunk) screws are designed to sit flush with the surface. Choose button head when you want a clean, rounded look without countersinking.

What is the difference between GB67 and ISO 1580 for slotted button head screws?

GB67 is the Chinese national standard for slotted button head machine screws, while ISO 1580 is the international standard for slotted pan head machine screws. The head geometry differs slightly between standards. In practice, for M3–M5 sizes, the thread dimensions are identical (ISO metric coarse), so these screws will thread into any standard metric tapped hole or nut. If your application requires strict dimensional compliance to a specific standard, contact us to confirm.
