Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with thread compatibility

Match the metric size and pitch

The screw thread must match the compatible threaded connection. Representative options include M3 x 0.5, M4 x 0.7, M6 x 1.0, M8 x 1.25, M10 x 1.5, and M12 x 1.75.

  • Check the required metric diameter.
  • Confirm the thread pitch before selecting.
  • Match the screw to compatible threaded holes, nuts, or hardware.
Plan for assembled-part clearance

Select a length for the connection

Listed lengths range from 8 mm through 80 mm across the representative products. Select the specified length that fits the planned assembly and supports the needed flush-mounted connection.

  • Shorter listed examples include 8 mm and 12 mm.
  • Mid-range examples include 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, and 50 mm.
  • An 80 mm example is available for assemblies requiring that listed reach.
Compare material, finish, and designation

Choose the stated construction details

Steel black oxide and 304 stainless steel options are represented. Certain steel black oxide examples carry a Class 10.9 designation, while one listed M8 option also identifies DIN 125B.

  • Steel black oxide options provide the specified black appearance.
  • 304 stainless steel options provide stainless steel construction.
  • Review stated class designations when a Class 10.9 screw is required.
