When you need Slotted Hex Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 005) in the M5 size, the controlling values come from GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014. This page lists them in one place — pitch, head geometry, tool size and the matching hole.
M5 Dimensional Row (GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Nominal diameter d (mm) | Length L (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Width across corners e (mm) | Head height k (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M5 | 0.8 | 5 | 30 | 8.0 | 8.79 | 3.5 |
Spanner & Drive for M5 Slotted Hex Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 005)
M5 Slotted Hex Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 005) have a width across flats of 8.0 mm — fit a 8.0 mm open-ended spanner or socket. Use a 6-point socket for tight clearances and to reduce rounding; for repeated assembly choose a torque wrench so the joint preload is repeatable.
Hole Sizes for M5
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 0.8 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 5.5 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 4.2 mm |
Tightening Torque for M5
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 5.8 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 8.1 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 9.7 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Common Applications for M5 Slotted Hex Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 005)
M5 Slotted Hex Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 005) are commonly specified for precision instruments, small machinery and consumer-electronics enclosures.
Installation Tips for M5 Slotted Hex Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 005)
- Use a 6-point socket where access allows — 12-point sockets are more prone to rounding the corners on smaller sizes.
- On flanged or serrated variants, do NOT add a separate flat washer — the flange already spreads the load and the washer can defeat the locking serrations.
- At M5 the joint is sensitive to over-torque — use a torque-limiting driver and check the head doesn't bury into a softer counterpart.
Mating Parts for M5
For M5, pair with a M5 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M5 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
