DIN 968 Round Head Self-Tapping Screw

DIN 968 is a self-tapping screw with a round head, collar and cross recess, for sheet metal. Materials: 4.8, 5.8, 8.8 steel; coated steel — electroplated zinc, nickel or chrome plating; A2, A4 stainless steel; non-ferrous metals, alloys, plastic — brass. FLOK supplies DIN 968 round head self-tapping screws with a collar for secure joining of metal sheets. A shank of a given diameter ends in a round head with a Pozi-type cross recess. The head is shaped like a press washer, which increases the clamping area of the part. Equivalent: GOST 11473.

DIN 968 Round Head Self-Tapping Screw

The DIN 968 screw is used for joining metal surfaces, structures and parts.

The DIN designation indicates the origin of the standard — the fastener is certified to a German norm.

The screws are made of 4.8, 5.8, 8.8 steel. The material is additionally treated for corrosion protection: coated with zinc, nickel, or chrome plated. Special alloys, brass, plastic, stainless and acid-resistant steel are also used. The screw head has a collar, which increases the reliability of the joint in operation.

Using the screw

DIN 968 is used for fastening dissimilar materials to sheet metal: wooden surfaces, plasterboard. The screw cuts its own hole and fastens securely in it. The anticorrosive surface coating allows the fastener to be used in aggressive environments and high humidity. The screw is suitable for temporary joining of damaged metal body parts — fenders, doors, the trunk lid — after an accident or abrasion from a collision.
