An M3*12 Stainless Steel Screw is a threaded fastener made from stainless steel with specific dimensions. Here’s a breakdown of what that means:

M3: This indicates the metric thread size. “M3” signifies a nominal thread diameter of 3 millimeters. The standard thread pitch for an M3 screw is 0.5 millimeters (the distance between adjacent thread peaks).
*12: This denotes the length of the screw’s shank (the main body of the screw measured from under the head to the tip) as 12 millimeters.
Stainless Steel: This specifies the material of the screw. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium (at least 10.5%), and often nickel and other elements. Key benefits of using stainless steel include:
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for various environments, including those with moisture. The specific grade of stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316) will determine the level of resistance.
- Durability: Strong and long-lasting, ensuring a reliable connection.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Often has a clean, metallic finish.
- Hygiene: Non-porous and easy to clean.

Key Characteristics (General, as Head and Drive Type are not specified):

Thread Type: Metric (M3 x 0.5 standard coarse thread).
Length: 12 millimeters (measured from under the head to the tip).
Material: Stainless Steel (the specific grade, like A2/304 or A4/316, will influence corrosion resistance).
Head Type: M3 screws come in various head types, such as:
- Pan Head (low, rounded with a wide bearing surface)
- Countersunk (Flat) Head (sits flush with the surface)
- Button Head (low-profile, dome-shaped)
- Socket Cap Head (cylindrical with a hexagonal recess)
- Cheese Head (cylindrical with a flat top)
- Truss Head (low-profile, wider than pan head)
Drive Type: The recess in the screw head for the tool can be:
- Slotted (single slot)
- Phillips (cross-shaped – PH)
- Pozidriv (cross-shaped with additional ribs – PZ)
- Hex Socket (Allen – hexagonal recess)
- Torx (star-shaped)
Standards: Might adhere to standards like DIN, ISO, or ANSI, which define specific dimensions and material properties.

Common Applications:

M3*12 stainless steel screws are used in a wide range of applications where a small, corrosion-resistant, and reliable fastener is needed, including:

Electronics: Fastening components in PCBs, enclosures, and devices.
Robotics: Securing parts in robotic assemblies.
Model Making: Joining parts in detailed models.
DIY Projects: General-purpose fastening.
Medical Equipment: Depending on the stainless steel grade, for its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
Food Processing Equipment: Where hygiene and resistance to corrosion are important.

To get a more precise description, it’s important to specify the head type and drive type of the M312 stainless steel screw. For example, you might be looking at an “M312 Stainless Steel Pan Head Phillips Screw” or an “M3*12 Stainless Steel Socket Cap Screw.”
