This page covers M5 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw to GB/T 818 / ISO 7045: the full dimensional row, hole and tool sizes, proof-load data and typical applications. All values are taken from the governing standards (GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 together with ISO 273, ISO 724 and ISO 898-1 where applicable).
M5 Dimensional Row (GB/T 818 / ISO 7045)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Head diameter dk (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Cross recess | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M5 | 0.8 | 30 | 9.5 | 3.0 | PH2 | ISO 7045 / GB/T 818 |
Spanner & Drive for M5 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 035)
M5 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 035) use a PH2 cross recess. Match the driver bit to the recess (Phillips PH / Pozi PZ are NOT interchangeable).
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.
Proof Load & Strength for M5
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 898-1) | 14.2 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 8.2 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 11.8 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 13.8 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile, class 8.8 | 11.4 kN |
Proof load = stress area × proof stress per ISO 898-1. Design joints so the working preload stays below the proof load of the selected class.
M5 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 035) Weight
A steel M5 phillips pan head machine screw at the listed 30 mm length weighs approximately 17 g each — about 17 kg per 1,000 pieces. Stainless A2/A4 weighs roughly the same (density 7.9–8.0 g/cm³). Actual weight varies slightly with head form, thread and finish; use this figure for freight estimation only.
Common Applications for M5 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 035)
M5 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 035) are commonly specified for electronics, PCB hardware, optical mounts and small-scale machinery.
Installation Tips for M5 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 035)
- Pozidriv (PZ) drivers ride out of Phillips (PH) recesses and vice versa — confirm the recess marking on the head before assembly.
- For automated assembly, an ACR (Anti-Cam-Out Ribs) or torx-equivalent driver gives noticeably longer bit life than plain PH.
- 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.
