DIN 196 Specifications
Dimension table for DIN 196 as printed on the collected technical page — d, d1, s, m from M5 to M16, all measurements in millimetres — with the source's page context (cheese-head and pan-head variants, A2 stainless and brass) and nothing asserted beyond what the collected page shows.

Specifications
The collected DIN 196 technical table, reproduced verbatim: the same four-column layout as its DIN 193 companion page — nominal thread d, head diameter d1, width across flats s, head dimension m — for M5 through M16, under the source's "All measurements in millimeters (mm)" note. The two tables are near-twins with real deltas at specific cells, which is precisely why the pages stay separate: DIN 196 prints d1 slightly larger at M6/M8 (14.25 / 18.25 vs 14.2 / 18.2), and different head heights m at M10 through M16 (7.9 / 8.7 / 11.5 vs 8.5 / 10 / 14) — checks that matter when a drawing calls one standard and procurement substitutes the near-twin. The collected page's product listings show cheese-head and pan-head variants in plain, A2 stainless and brass; beyond that, this page asserts nothing about the standard's formal scope. Material, class, length and drive are per RFQ — none are tabulated on the collected page.
| Table | d / d1 / s / m for M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M16 — e.g. M5: 11.2 / 8 / 4.3; M10: 21 / 15 / 7.9; M16: 31 / 22 / 11.5 (verbatim, dimension table below) |
|---|---|
| Units (source note) | All measurements in millimeters (mm) |
| Delta vs DIN 193 (as printed) | d1 prints 14.25 / 18.25 at M6 / M8 (193: 14.2 / 18.2); m prints 7.9 / 8.7 / 11.5 at M10 / M12 / M16 (193: 8.5 / 10 / 14) — the two standards are not interchangeable at those cells |
| Source page context | Cheese-head and pan-head variants in plain, A2 stainless and brass per the collected page's listings; formal standard scope not asserted |
| Not tabulated | Lengths, thread data, property class, drive, finish — per RFQ |
Materials
- Source listings span plain steel, A2 stainless and brass; confirm material and property class on the RFQ — the dimension table is material-independent
Ordering & documentation
Documents
Shipments are backed by Mill Test Certificate (MTC), Dimensional Report, Salt Spray Test Report on request, with full batch traceability from raw material to finished product. Quality management follows the owner-confirmed compliance list: ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, REACH. Exact document sets are confirmed on the order.
Quotation
- The fastener family (DIN 196 Specifications) plus the standard designation from your drawing — DIN / ISO / JIS / ASTM / ANSI, or a drawing for custom parts.
- Size (diameter and length), thread type (metric or inch), property class or grade, and coating or finish.
- Quantity per size and your target delivery date.
- Destination country, and any required documents (for example a mill test certificate) so the quote includes them.
Sample & supply
Minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces. Stock items run 3–7 days. Quantities or variants outside the standard range are confirmed at quotation.
Storage & shipping
Parts are packed for export and shipped factory-direct to buyers in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East. Store fasteners dry and protected until installation, and keep coated parts in their packaging until use; specific packing and preservation requirements can be stated on the order and confirmed at quotation.
Frequently asked questions
DIN 193 and DIN 196 tables look almost identical. Can I substitute one for the other?
Not at face value — the near-twin layout hides real, functional deltas. The head dimension m — the cells that govern head height and the wrench/clearance envelope — differs at every size from M10 up: DIN 196 prints 7.9 / 8.7 / 11.5 where DIN 193 prints 8.5 / 10 / 14, and the head diameters d1 differ in the M6-M8 cells by hundredths that matter in a gauged hole. If a joint was designed around the DIN 193 head envelope, a DIN 196 part may sit proud or under-fill the counterbore, and vice versa. The substitution decision therefore belongs to whoever owns the drawing, made against the two tables cell by cell — which is why this page carries the delta explicitly instead of merging the two into one "family" table. Where a drawing permits either designation, say so on the RFQ and the quote prices the interchangeability; where it does not, order the printed designation and resist a "close enough" switch at the counter.
