Cross Recessed Pan Head Machine Screw DIN 7985 Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel Fastener for Electrical Equipment and General Assembly

A Cross Recessed Pan Head Machine Screw has a rounded pan head and a cross-shaped drive recess. After installation, the pan head remains above the mounting surface and provides a broader contact area than a countersunk screw. This makes it suitable for panels, covers, brackets, housings, electrical enclosures, and assembled metal components.

Unlike a self-tapping screw, this product uses a metric machine thread and is designed to work with a matching nut, threaded insert, or tapped hole. It is therefore suitable for repeatable assembly, maintenance, repair, and replacement work where the connected parts already have a compatible internal thread.

Product Specifications

The listed M1.6–M10 diameter range is aligned with ISO 7045. Market supply lengths vary by diameter, material, property class, and finish, so the 2 mm–100 mm length range should be treated as a quotation range rather than a fixed all-size availability promise.

Pan Head Design for Electrical Equipment

The pan head profile is suitable for equipment assemblies where the screw head does not need to sit flush with the surface. It provides a visible fastening point that is easy to access during installation, inspection, servicing, and replacement.

For electrical equipment, this screw type can be used to secure control-panel parts, covers, internal mounting brackets, terminal-related components, cable-management accessories, equipment labels, and metal enclosure parts. The cross recess supports efficient installation with compatible manual screwdrivers or power-driver bits.

Material and Property Class Options

Carbon steel options in Property Class 4.8 and 8.8 are suitable for buyers who need a specified carbon steel machine screw for general assembly and equipment fastening.

Stainless steel A2 and A4 options are suitable for projects requiring a stainless steel material selection. Buyers can specify the required material, property class, thread diameter, screw length, and finish according to their drawing, equipment requirement, or destination-market preference.

Suitable Applications

Cross Recessed Pan Head Machine Screws are suitable for fixed threaded connections in electrical, industrial, mechanical, and general hardware assemblies.

Typical applications include:

Electrical cabinets, switch boxes, and control panels

Metal enclosures, covers, and junction boxes

Equipment housings, machine guards, and mounting plates

Brackets, rails, fixtures, and fabricated metal parts

Industrial equipment assembly and maintenance

Terminal components and internal electrical mounting hardware

General machinery assembly and replacement fastener programs

OEM production, distributor supply, and repair kits

FAQ

1.What is the difference between DIN 7985 and ISO 7045?

DIN 7985 is the commonly used market designation for cross recessed pan head machine screws. ISO 7045 is the corresponding current ISO standard designation for this product type.

2.Is this a self-tapping screw?

No. This is a machine screw with a metric machine thread. It is normally installed into a threaded hole, threaded insert, or matching nut.

3.What material options are available?

Carbon steel Property Class 4.8 and 8.8 options are available, along with stainless steel A2 and A4 options.

4.What sizes are available?

The standard diameter range is M1.6 to M10. Length availability depends on the selected diameter, material, property class, and finish.

5.What is the difference between a pan head and a countersunk head?

A pan head remains above the mounting surface after installation. A countersunk head is designed to sit flush with the surface when installed in a matching countersunk hole.

6.Can these screws be used for control panels and electrical enclosures?

Yes. They are suitable for electrical equipment assemblies including control panels, enclosures, covers, brackets, mounting parts, and internal hardware connections.
