DIN 95 Wood Screw

A characteristic feature of the wood screw manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the German standard DIN 95 is the raised countersunk head with a slot for a straight screwdriver. The shank is fitted with a partial thread with a fine pitch and a sharp point.

This fastener is sometimes compared to products made to other standards, but the differences are significant. The wood screw to GOST 1146-80, DIN 7995 and ISO 7051 has a cross recess. The product to DIN 97 is fitted with a countersunk head, while the fastener to DIN 96 has a round (dome-shaped) head.

Materials and coatings of DIN 95 fasteners

Various types of metal are used to manufacture the DIN 95 wood screw. Carbon and stainless steels take the leading place. They are followed by brass, copper, and aluminium-based alloys. Engineering plastic is used less often, and products made from it are in low demand.

Fasteners made of chromium-nickel and non-ferrous alloys are not subject to corrosion and therefore do not need additional protection. Products made of alloy steel grades have a special coating applied by nickel plating, zinc plating, chrome plating, brass plating, or enamelling.

Application area of wood self-tapping screws

The DIN 95 wood screw is used for fastening parts, products and structures made of wood, not necessarily natural wood only. This also includes any materials made using wood products or wood-processing waste: plywood, OSB boards and glued laminated timber, gypsum board, hardboard, chipboard.

The DIN 95 screw is a widely used fastener. It is most often used by builders, furniture makers and craftsmen in home workshops. The head design allows the fastener to be driven in flush with the base material, making it almost invisible, and allows the head to be hidden under a decorative panel (important in furniture assembly) or a layer of filler.
