The Toolcraft Slotted Cheese Head Screws (M5 x 30mm) are precision-engineered fasteners designed for hobbyists, electronics enthusiasts, and mechanical assembly projects requiring non-conductive, lightweight components. Manufactured to DIN 84 standards, these polyamide screws provide reliable fastening for light-duty applications; however, they are not intended for high-torque or heavy-load industrial structural use.

No, these are made of polyamide, which is a non-magnetic plastic.
Polyamide has a limited heat tolerance. They are not recommended for use near heat sources or high-temperature industrial machinery.
A standard flat-head screwdriver is all that is required for these slotted screws.
No, they are electrical insulators, making them ideal for electronics assembly.
DIN 84 is a German industrial standard that defines the dimensions and shape of cheese-head screws with a slotted drive.
Each pack contains 10 individual machine screws.
Ensure the screwdriver blade width is as close to the slot width as possible and apply consistent downward pressure.
Check that the mating thread is free of debris and is correctly sized for an M5 machine screw.
Since polyamide is softer than metal, check for material fatigue; if overtightened, the screw threads may have deformed and should be replaced.
For optimal installation, use a flat-head screwdriver that matches the width of the screw slot to prevent 'cam-out' or damage to the plastic head. Ensure that the receiving hole or nut is properly threaded for M5 hardware. Because these are plastic, it is recommended to avoid using them in high-temperature environments where the polyamide could soften. To clean, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid using strong chemical solvents, which may degrade the structural integrity of the polymer over time.
