Product Details
The ISO 7380-1 Button Head Socket Screw is a metric socket screw with a domed button head and an internal hex drive. Its low-profile head provides a smooth external appearance and is intended for fastening positions that do not require the bearing area of a standard cylindrical socket head.
The standard reference in this product page is ISO 7380-1:2022. It covers metric coarse threads from M3 through M16. The button head has a different external profile and head bearing area from a standard cylindrical head, so the connection design and permissible load should be checked before substitution.
For machinery, mold, furniture, equipment-panel, and sheet-metal orders, provide the required screw dimensions together with the material and mechanical requirements. A drawing or assembly description helps confirm head clearance, tool access, and the intended fastening position.

Button Head Design and Application
The button head provides a rounded external form and a relatively low head height. It can be used for machinery covers, equipment panels, furniture assemblies, molds, and other fastening positions where the selected design permits its head profile and bearing area.
A button head does not have the same head profile or bearing area as a standard cylindrical socket head. For a load-bearing connection, check the contact surface, tightening conditions, and required mechanical performance before selecting this head style.
Material and Property Classes
Material options are alloy steel and stainless steel.
| Material Group | Reference Property Classes Listed for ISO 7380-1:2022 |
|---|---|
| Steel | 8.8, 10.9, 12.9 |
| Stainless Steel | A2-70, A4-70, A2-80, A4-80 |
These are standard reference classes, not confirmation that every class is available for every size. The reference page notes that property class12.9fasteners can be susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement; applicable requirements should be checked against ISO 898-1 and ISO/TR 20491.
Typical marking codes shown in the reference include08.8, 010.9, 012.9, A2-070, A4-070, A2-080, and A4-080. Confirm the required class, marking, and mechanical properties during quotation.
