DIN 7500 CE Pan Head Thread Forming Screws
DIN 7500 CE pan head thread forming screws: the trilobular rolling thread under a rounded pan head with a six-lobe (Torx) or Pozidriv drive. The collected DIN 7500CE table runs M2 to M6 with head, recess and drive dimensions per size — the chipless forming screw for enclosures, sheet-metal frames and visible assemblies.

Specifications
The CE variant is DIN 7500 with a pan head: a rounded top and cylindrical sides over a flat bearing face, driven by a six-lobe socket or a Pozidriv cross recess. The pan head spreads the bearing load and keeps the drive accessible through several cam-outs, which suits electrical enclosures, sheet-metal frames and any assembly where the head stays visible. The collected DIN 7500CE spec sheet carries the full head table for the six-lobe version from M2 to M6 plus the Pozidriv variant from M2.5 to M6; the trilobular thread geometry and performance figures are shared with the DIN 7500-1 rolling-screw page. Ordering note: the same rolling thread comes under the ME countersunk head when the assembly needs a flush finish.

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 7500 CE Pan Head Thread Forming Screws) 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
Six-lobe or Pozidriv for DIN 7500 CE?
Both drives exist in the collected DIN 7500CE tables. The six-lobe socket takes higher torque with less cam-out, which matters near the maximum screw-in torque of the forming thread; Pozidriv matches standard cross-recess tooling already on the line. Match the driver to your assembly station first — the head dimensions differ slightly between the two tables, so treat them as distinct part configurations when qualifying.
Where does the pan head make sense on a forming screw?
Anywhere the head sits above the surface: enclosures, brackets, sheet-metal frames, serviceable covers. The pan head gives a deep, well-supported drive recess and a wide bearing face without needing a countersunk hole. When the head must sit flush — panels, covers with clearance above — switch to the DIN 7500 ME countersunk variant of the same rolling thread.
What is the MOQ and lead time for these thread forming screws?
Minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces per item. Stocked sizes ship in 3–7 days; non-stock diameters, lengths or finishes are quoted with a confirmed schedule. Confirm the exact schedule against quantity and size mix at quotation.
What should an RFQ for these thread forming screws state?
State the standard designation (for example DIN 7500 CE or DIN 7500 ME), the head form and drive, thread size and pitch, length, material and grade (case-hardened steel or A2/A4 stainless), finish, pilot-hole or sheet thickness if you need a hole-size recommendation, required certificates such as a mill test report per EN 10204 3.1, and quantity per size — plus destination country.
