SystemShield M4 × 12mm Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw

M4 × 12 mm Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw

Short Description

Steel M4 × 12 mm Phillips pan head machine screw for metric machine-fastened grounding, bonding, cabinet, enclosure, and equipment assemblies. Matching metric pan-head listings show DIN 7985 / ISO 7045 style geometry, M4 thread size, 0.7 mm pitch, 12 mm length, PH2 drive, about 8 mm head diameter, and about 3.25 mm head height. Zinc-plated steel versions are also commonly offered for this configuration.

Product Overview

The SystemShield M4 × 12 mm Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw is a metric machine-thread fastener intended for use with tapped holes, nuts, cage nuts, threaded inserts, and similar machine-fastened assemblies. Matching technical listings for this size identify it as an M4 screw with 12 mm length, 0.7 mm pitch, PH2 drive, and pan head geometry built to the common DIN 7985 / ISO 7045 pattern.

For this size class, matching dimensional references show about 8 mm head diameter with a tolerance of +0 / -0.36 mm and about 3.25 mm head height with a tolerance of +0 / -0.3 mm. Matching zinc-plated steel listings also show this size available in steel class 4.8 with zinc plating for general-use corrosion resistance.

This screw format is well suited for cabinet hardware, enclosure mounting, equipment brackets, and similar assembly points where an M4 metric machine thread and a low-profile rounded head are required. Metric Phillips pan-head machine screws in this class are commonly described as conforming to ISO 7045 or DIN 7985 and are widely used in engineering assemblies.

Not intended as:

• A self-tapping sheet-metal screw
• A wood screw
• A substitute for a different metric pitch, drive system, or length where exact hardware match is required

Installation Notes

1. Use this screw only in assembly points designed for M4 × 0.7 mm machine threads. Confirm that the receiving nut, threaded hole, or insert matches the thread size, pitch, and required engagement length before installation.
2. Install with a properly fitting PH2 driver to reduce drive damage and cam-out risk.
3. Because metric pan-head machine screws are offered in multiple materials and finishes under the same dimensional standard, final torque and joint suitability should be determined by the actual supplied part, mating materials, hardware stack-up, and application requirements.
4. Verify thread match, length suitability, head clearance, washer or nut requirements, and application requirements before installation.

Compliance & Regulatory Information

Matching listings support this screw format as a DIN 7985 / ISO 7045 style metric pan-head machine screw with M4 × 0.7 mm geometry and PH2 drive. The sources reviewed establish dimensional and material details, but they do not show a separate standalone certification claim that should be carried into this listing as a broader compliance statement.

It should be used only as part of a properly designed assembly and with hardware selected for the actual joint and environment.

Packaging & Handling

• Protect against thread damage
• Protect against drive recess damage
• Protect against plating damage
• Protect against corrosion from improper storage conditions

Store in a clean, dry environment before installation. Do not use damaged screws with deformed threads or stripped drive recesses.

Notes / Limitations

This product is a fastening component, not a complete assembly.

• Final suitability depends on correct thread match
• Correct length selection is required
• Correct mating hardware is required
• Proper installation practices are required
• Actual application requirements must be verified
