DIN 125 A is the standard cited for ptfe flat washers. This page sets out what the standard controls for this part, reproduces the dimensional table supplied against it, and notes the related designations referenced on drawings.
DIN 125 A — Scope
The table below lists the dimensions catalogued for ptfe flat washers under DIN 125 A. The scope of DIN 125 A itself is not summarised here — where a figure matters, confirm it against the published document.
Tolerance & Product Grades
Product grade is a concept from dimensional fastener standards and does not apply to DIN 125 A. Tolerances for this part are the limits shown against each dimension in the table.
Dimensions Specified by DIN 125 A

Companion Standards
A complete specification for ptfe flat washers normally cites several documents: one for the geometry, one for the material or mechanical properties, and one for the finish. DIN 125 A is one of them, not all of them.
When to Specify DIN 125 A
DIN 125 A is still widely used in European mechanical engineering and as a cross-reference on legacy drawings; its ISO equivalent is preferred for new designs.
Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing
Need a washer to this standard in a non-standard size?
Parts built to DIN 125 A are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by stamping or punching.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
