DIN 7500 ME Flat Countersunk Head Thread Forming Screws
DIN 7500 ME flat countersunk head thread forming screws: the trilobular rolling thread with a head that seats flush. The collected spec sheet tables the six-lobe version M2 to M8 and the Pozidriv variant M2.5 to M6 — the forming screw for panels, covers and anywhere the head must not stand proud.

Specifications
The ME variant takes the DIN 7500 rolling thread and puts it under a flat countersunk head that aligns level with the surface — useful where a protruding head would catch, gather contaminants or break a flush panel line. The collected spec sheet tables both drive versions: the six-lobe head runs M2 to M8 (head diameter 3.8 to 14.5 mm) and the Pozidriv variant M2.5 to M6. Thread geometry, performance and pilot-hole guidance are shared with the DIN 7500-1 rolling-screw page. The collected sheet does not state the countersink angle, so confirm the mating countersink against a sample before locking the hole specification.

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 ME Flat Countersunk 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
DIN 7500 ME and the DIN 965-style countersunk machine screw — same countersink?
The collected DIN 7500 sheet does not print the countersink angle, so this page does not claim one. Qualify the head against the mating countersink with a sample: the ME head heights in the table (k max 1.2 mm at M2 up to 4 mm at M8) are the figures to check for flushness in your sheet thickness. Once qualified, the same pilot-hole rules as the rest of the DIN 7500 family apply.
How large does the ME series run?
The six-lobe table runs to M8 with a 14.5 mm head diameter — the widest countersunk forming head in the collected DIN 7500 sheets. The Pozidriv variant is tabled from M2.5 to M6. Availability follows the stock programme: stocked diameters and lengths ship from stock, larger or off-list lengths are quoted.
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.
