DIN 965 Cross Recessed Countersunk Screws
DIN 965 cross recessed countersunk screws feature a flat, conical head designed to sit flush with the surface of the assembled component. The cross recessed drive allows convenient installation using a compatible screwdriver or power tool, while the countersunk head provides a smooth finish with minimal protrusion. These screws are commonly used in machinery, electrical equipment, metal assemblies, and other applications where a flush fastening surface is required. They are available in different dimensions, materials, and finishes to meet various assembly and environmental requirements.
We supply DIN 965 cross recessed countersunk screws in carbon steel and stainless steel, with options for different strength classes and surface treatments according to customer specifications. Our production network includes cold heading, thread rolling, and other specialized manufacturing processes to support consistent dimensions and thread quality. Each order can be manufactured according to the applicable standard or customer drawings, with inspection covering critical dimensions, thread fit, mechanical properties, and surface finish as required.

Application of DIN 965 Phillips Countersunk Screws:
Sheet Metal & Equipment Panels
DIN 965 screws are commonly used for sheet-metal panels, electrical enclosures, equipment covers, control cabinets, and fabricated metal parts where a protruding screw head could interfere with adjacent components.
Machine Covers & Guards
The countersunk design is suitable for machine covers, protective guards, access panels, and equipment housings where components may need a relatively smooth outer surface and the fastener needs to remain within the profile of the assembly.
Hardware & Finished Components
DIN 965 can also be used for brackets, hardware assemblies, furniture hardware, instrument housings, and finished metal components where the appearance and surface profile of the assembled part are important.
Electrical & Electronic Equipment
For suitable mechanical assemblies, DIN 965 can be used in electrical cabinets, control equipment, instrument panels, electronic housings, and mounting components where a recessed fastener helps avoid interference with surrounding parts.
Selection Tip
DIN 965 works best when the mating component can accommodate a 90° countersunk hole. For very thin sheet metal or materials where countersinking would remove too much material, a pan head or another low-profile screw may provide a better solution.
