Fasteners — Button head screws with reduced loadability — Part 4: Hexalobular socket button head screws with collar
This document specifies the characteristics of hexalobular socket button head screws with collar with reduced loadability due to head design, in steel, with metric coarse pitch threads M3 to M12, and with product grade A. If, in certain cases, other specifications are requested, property classes and stainless steel grades can be selected from ISO 898-1 or ISO 3506-1, and the dimensional options from ISO 888 or ISO 4753. NOTE The reduced loadability (related to the head dimensions in combination with penetration of the hexalobular socket specified in this document) implies a limitation of ultimate tensile load shown by a specific marking (property class preceded by a zero). The loadability in the head is assumed to be 80 % of that in the thread for all sizes and all property classes, see Table 4.

Overview
ISO 7380-4:2026 specifies the requirements and characteristics for hexalobular socket button head screws with collar and reduced loadability. These fasteners are made of steel, use metric coarse pitch threads ranging from M3 to M12, and align with product grade A. The document outlines the dimensions, mechanical properties, marking, and essential requirements for the application and identification of these screws.
Designed for engineering and industrial use, these button head screws feature a hexalobular (six-lobed) internal socket, a button-shaped head, and a collar underneath. Due to specific design characteristics, their ultimate tensile load capacity is reduced compared to other screw types, which is marked accordingly on each product.
Key Topics
Screw Types and Sizes
- Hexalobular socket button head screws with collar
- Metric coarse threads: M3 to M12
- Product grade A for precision applications
Material and Mechanical Properties
- Manufactured in steel, with options for different property classes and stainless steel grades from ISO 898-1 or ISO 3506-1
- Reduced loadability: The head’s design and socket reduce the ultimate tensile load to 80% of thread load capacity
- Mechanical class symbols for notation (property class preceded by a zero, e.g., 08.8)
Dimensional Requirements
- Fully detailed in accordance with ISO 225, ISO 888, and ISO 4753
- Standard lengths, thread details, and head/collar dimensions for consistent integration in assemblies
Marking and Traceability
- Product marking as per ISO 898-1, including specific loadability identification
- Package labelling: includes reference to ISO 7380-4, size, property class, finish, lot number, and manufacturer details
Applications
These hexalobular socket button head screws with collar are primarily used in:
- General Mechanical Engineering: Assemblies requiring reliable fastener solutions with identifiable load limits, such as machinery casings, covers, or fixtures.
- Automotive and Transportation: Fastening parts where moderate holding power is needed and where reduced head height and socket drive are advantageous.
- Electronics and Precision Equipment: Ideal for enclosures and mounts where limited space or aesthetic considerations dictate a low-profile fastener with predictable torque performance.
- Metalworking and Fabrication: Used when secure, repeatable connections are required and where overtightening must be avoided due to the reduced head loadability.
The use of reduced loadability fasteners is essential when design requirements necessitate lighter, low-profile heads while retaining sufficient strength for most operational loads.
Related Standards
Understanding and implementing ISO 7380-4:2026 involves referencing several key standards for full compliance and system integration:
- ISO 898-1: Mechanical properties of fasteners made of carbon steel and alloy steel
- ISO 3506-1: Mechanical properties of corrosion-resistant stainless steel fasteners
- ISO 888: Nominal and thread lengths for bolts, screws, and studs
- ISO 4753: Ends of parts with external ISO metric thread
- ISO 225: Symbols and descriptions of fastener dimensions
- ISO 10664: Hexalobular internal driving feature standards
- ISO 4042 / ISO 10683: Specifications for coated fasteners to prevent corrosion
By aligning your applications with ISO 7380-4 and these related standards, you ensure safe, reliable, and globally recognized fastener performance in a wide array of engineering solutions.
