Custom 304 Stainless Steel Cross Recess Thin Head Machine Screw
Custom 304 Stainless Steel Cross Recess Thin Head Machine Screw
The Custom 304 Stainless Steel Cross Recess Thin Head Machine Screw is a precision fastening component designed for compact assemblies requiring low-profile installation and high corrosion resistance. As a key type of industrial fasteners, this thin head machine screw is widely used in applications where installation space is limited and surface protrusion must be minimized.
Manufactured from premium 304 stainless steel (A2 grade), this screw offers excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical exposure. It is commonly used in electronics, precision equipment, automotive interior systems, and OEM manufacturing that requires reliable stainless steel fasteners with stable long-term performance.
Flybear provides high-quality customized fastening solutions for global industrial buyers, supporting OEM production and engineering-grade applications.

Product Overview
The Custom 304 Stainless Steel Cross Recess Thin Head Machine Screw features a reduced-height head design combined with a cross recess (Phillips) drive. This structure allows the screw to sit closer to the mounting surface compared with standard pan head or round head screws.
The thin head design is particularly suitable for lightweight assemblies, decorative components, and precision equipment where clearance is restricted. Despite its reduced head height, it maintains strong clamping force and stable torque transmission.
The use of 304 stainless steel ensures excellent durability in humid and mildly corrosive environments, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications in industrial fasteners systems.
