Brass DIN 85 Pan Head Screws – Standardised Reliable Fastening

Brass DIN 85 Pan Head Screws represent the standard in pan head screw design, offering a balanced combination of bearing surface, head height, and driving efficiency. The pan head design provides a larger contact area than flat head screws while maintaining a lower profile than hex head bolts, making these screws ideal for general-purpose fastening across various industries. The inherent corrosion resistance of brass makes these screws particularly valuable in environments where steel fasteners would corrode, while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity for grounding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What distinguishes DIN 85 pan head screws from other pan head standards?
DIN 85 pan head screws feature specific head proportions and slot dimensions that define the classic pan head profile. Compared to other standards, DIN 85 specifies exact head diameter to thread size ratios, controlled head height, and standardized slot dimensions that ensure consistent performance and interchangeability. The design represents the traditional pan head profile that has proven reliable across decades of industrial use.

Q2: Are brass DIN 85 screws suitable for outdoor and marine applications?
Yes, brass DIN 85 screws are excellent for outdoor and marine applications, particularly when manufactured from naval brass (C46400). The material’s inherent corrosion resistance makes it suitable for saltwater exposure, high humidity, and coastal environments. Unlike plated steel screws that can corrode when the plating is damaged, brass provides corrosion resistance throughout the material for long-term reliability in aggressive environments.

Q3: What are the benefits of slotted drive compared to Phillips drive?
The slotted drive design offers universal tool compatibility, simple manufacturing, and reliable performance. Unlike Phillips drives that require specific driver sizes, slotted drives work with any appropriately sized flat-blade screwdriver. This makes DIN 85 screws particularly valuable for field service, maintenance applications, and situations where tool availability may be limited. The design also allows for easy visual inspection of drive condition and doesn’t suffer from cam-out issues at higher torque levels.

Q4: Can DIN 85 screws be used in electrical grounding applications?
Yes, brass DIN 85 screws are excellent for electrical grounding applications due to their good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The brass material provides reliable current paths for grounding systems, and the corrosion resistance ensures long-term electrical continuity without the increased resistance that can occur with corroded steel fasteners. This makes them ideal for electrical panels, equipment grounding, and bonding applications.

Q5: How do I select the correct screw length for my application?
Screw length should be selected based on material thickness, required thread engagement, and assembly requirements. For most applications, the screw should provide sufficient thread engagement (typically 1-1.5 times the diameter in the threaded component) while allowing proper clamping without bottoming out. The pan head design requires consideration of the head height when calculating total fastener length requirements. Our technical documentation provides detailed selection guidelines for various applications.
