Screw with flange SCHROFF M2.5 x 12.3 mm, nickel-plated steel, cross/slot drive, pack of 100

Flanged screw SCHROFF M2.5 x 12.3 mm, nickel-plated steel, cross/slot drive, pack of 100 is a small metric fastener designed for reliable assembly in electronics, enclosures and chassis. The integrated flange head increases bearing area to reduce localized pressure on thin sheets and components. Nickel plating provides a corrosion-resistant surface finish suitable for general indoor environments and assemblies where conductivity and appearance matter.

Advantages

The flanged head offers improved load distribution compared with a plain pan or countersunk head, helping to prevent pull-through in sheet metal and plastic panels. The combined cross and slotted drive allows use with both Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers, increasing flexibility during assembly and maintenance. Nickel-plated steel construction balances strength and surface corrosion protection while maintaining dimensional stability in small-diameter threads.

Suitable for

• Fastening electronic enclosures and instrument panels
• Chassis and bracket assembly in communication and industrial equipment
• Securing small PCBs, standoffs and internal components
• General light-duty fastening in indoor environments

Key specifications

• Thread size: M2.5
• Overall length: 12.3 mm
• Head type: integrated flange head for increased bearing area
• Drive type: combined Phillips (cross) and slotted drive
• Material: steel with nickel plating
• Finish: nickel-plated surface for corrosion resistance
• Pack quantity: 100 pieces

How to use

Select the appropriate driver tip matching the combined cross/slot drive to avoid cam-out and thread damage. Position the flanged head against the mating surface so the flange bears evenly on the part. Apply steady torque within the recommendations for M2.5 steel screws to achieve a secure joint without over-tightening; for delicate components consider using a torque-limiting driver or torque screwdriver. When fastening into thin panels or plastics, ensure the flange fully contacts the surface to distribute load and reduce stress concentrations.

Usage recommendations

Store in a dry environment to preserve the nickel plating and avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive atmospheres. For assemblies requiring electrical continuity, verify contact resistance after installation. If used in applications with higher humidity or corrosive conditions, consider additional protective measures or alternative coatings suited to the environment.
