Screw-M3x6-Cross Recessed Countersunk

Introducing the Screw-M3x6-Cross Recessed Countersunk — a precise, compact fastener designed for clean, professional assemblies. With a 3 mm thread diameter and a 6 mm length, this metric screw delivers secure retention in tapped holes and inserts, while its flush, countersunk head keeps surfaces smooth and snag-free in tight spaces.

Why this design stands out

The cross recessed drive (Phillips) provides reliable torque and easy seating, even when working in cramped or low-light environments. The recessed countersunk head sits flush with or slightly below the surface, creating a seamless finish for electronics enclosures, 3D-printed parts, and lightweight metal or plastic assemblies. This combination is ideal when you want hardware that vanishes into the design while still delivering dependable strength.

Key features

• 
  Drive type: cross recessed (Phillips) for consistent seating and broad driver compatibility
• 
  Head type: countersunk, flat profile for flush mounting on panels, enclosures, and covers
• 
  Size: M3 diameter with 6 mm length, suited to compact, precision applications
• 
  Thread: standard metric M3 thread, compatible with M3 tapped holes and inserts
• 
  Application: ideal for electronics enclosures, PCB mounting, small machinery, robotics chasses, and model-making projects

Ideal use cases

Perfect for assembling compact electronics housings, mounting PCBs into enclosures, attaching lightweight panels, or securing delicate components where a protruding screw head would interfere with operation or aesthetics. Great for 3D-printed projects and hobby builds where a clean, professional look is as important as reliable fastening.

Practical tips for best results

• Use a Phillips screwdriver that fits snugly to minimize cam-out and achieve consistent seating
• Pair with M3 tapped holes or nuts designed for low-profile mounting to ensure a secure fit
• Avoid overtightening to preserve material integrity in plastics and to prevent thread stripping in softer substrates
• Consider a light, temporary threadlocker for vibration-prone applications where repeated access is not required

Whether you’re detailing a sleek electronics project, refining a compact enclosure, or upgrading a hobby build, the Screw-M3x6-Cross Recessed Countersunk offers a dependable, aesthetically discreet fastening solution that performs where space is at a premium. Add this versatile M3 screw to your toolkit for consistent, flush mounting and lasting durability in small-scale assemblies.
