DIN 7984 Low Head Socket Cap Screws
DIN 7984 low head socket cap screws are metric fasteners designed for applications where space above the screw head is limited. Their low-profile cylindrical head requires less installation clearance than a standard DIN 912 / ISO 4762 socket head cap screw.
The internal hexagon drive provides positive tool engagement and allows these screws to be installed in recessed or difficult-to-reach locations. DIN 7984 screws are commonly used in machinery, tooling, automation equipment and other compact assemblies where a conventional socket head would extend too far above the mounting surface.
