DIN963 Key Information on Slotted Countersunk Head Screws
Standard Name: Slotted Countersunk Head Screws. Current version is DIN 963-1990, applicable to metric thread specifications.
International/Chinese Equivalents: Compatible with ISO 2009; the Chinese equivalent standard is GB/T 68 (Slotted Countersunk Head Screws).
Head Design
Countersunk head shape, allowing flush installation with the connected surface to minimize protrusion and improve safety.
Slotted drive (single slot) requiring a flat-blade screwdriver for installation.
Slot and Dimensions
Slot width (n) and depth (t) vary with screw size (e.g., M5 screws have a maximum slot width of 0.8 mm).
Countersunk head diameter (dk) corresponds to the nominal diameter (d), e.g., dk for M3 screws is nominally 5.6 mm.
Size Range
Nominal Diameter: Covers M1-M20, with non-preferred sizes such as M3.5 and M14.
Nominal Length (L): Ranges from 2-100 mm; thread length correlates with L (e.g., M6 screws with L=10 mm have a thread length of ~8 mm).
Typical Parameter Examples
M3 | 3mm | 0.5mm | 5.6mm | 5-30mm |
M6 | 6mm | 1.0mm | 11.0mm | 12-60mm |
M10 | 10mm | 1.5mm | 18.0mm | 20-100mm |
