FAQs

What size hex key is needed for these screws?

For M3 hex socket cap head screws, a 2.5mm hex key is typically required.

What material are these screws made of?

These screws are made of metal, designed for durability and strength.

What does 'full thread' mean?

Full thread means the threaded portion extends along the entire length of the screw shaft, up to the head, providing maximum engagement.

Can these screws be used outdoors?

While made of metal, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh outdoor elements may lead to corrosion. For outdoor use, consider screws with specific rust-resistant coatings.

How many screws are in one pack?

Each pack contains 25 M3 x 40mm screws.

What is the primary application for these screws?

They are designed for general use in home and office appliances, communication equipment, ship assembly, and other machinery industries where M3 fasteners are suitable.

Troubleshooting

Screw does not thread properly

Ensure you are using an M3 nut or tapped hole. Check for any debris or damage in the threads of the screw or the receiving hole. Ensure the correct thread pitch is being used.

Hex socket head is stripped

Use a hex key that is the correct size and in good condition. Apply steady, even pressure during tightening. If the head is already stripped, consider using pliers to grip the head or a screw extractor if necessary.

Screw is not secure

Verify the screw is fully threaded into the mating component or nut. Ensure the nut or tapped hole is suitable for an M3 screw and not damaged. Consider using a locking nut or thread locker for increased security in high-vibration environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Compatible with standard M3 nuts and M3 tapped threads. Suitable for use with a wide range of materials including plastics, metals, and wood, provided the material can accept an M3 thread.
