Specification summary of ISO 7049 as applied to phillips pan head self-tapping screw: the dimensions the standard fixes, the full size range supplied, and the related designations commonly cross-referenced.
ISO 7049 — Scope
ISO 7049 is "Cross-recessed pan head tapping screws".
Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2 for mechanical property classes, ISO 4042 for electroplated finishes.
Tolerance & Product Grades
ISO 7049 does not divide phillips pan head self-tapping screw — gb/t 845 / iso 7049 (series 032) into product grades. Tolerances are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table.
Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.
Dimensions Specified by ISO 7049
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Head diameter dk (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Cross recess | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M3 | 0.5 | 20 | 5.6 | 1.8 | PH1 | ISO 7045 / GB/T 818 |
| M4 | 0.7 | 25 | 8.0 | 2.4 | PH2 | ISO 7045 / GB/T 818 |
| M5 | 0.8 | 30 | 9.5 | 3.0 | PH2 | ISO 7045 / GB/T 818 |
| M6 | 1.0 | 40 | 12.0 | 3.6 | PH3 | ISO 7045 / GB/T 818 |
| M8 | 1.25 | 50 | 16.0 | 4.8 | PH3 | ISO 7045 / GB/T 818 |
| M10 | 1.5 | 60 | 20.0 | 6.0 | PH4 | ISO 7045 / GB/T 818 |
Equivalent Standards
Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent Phillips Pan Head Self-Tapping Screw — GB/T 845 / ISO 7049 (Series 032) page.
Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
Companion Standards
ISO 7049 controls only the geometry of phillips pan head self-tapping screw — gb/t 845 / iso 7049 (series 032). The mechanical strength is set by ISO 898-1 (bolts, screws and studs) or ISO 898-2 (nuts); the surface finish is governed by separate finish standards such as ISO 4042 for electroplating. For corrosion testing, the relevant document is ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray).
Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing
Need a screw to this standard in a non-standard size?
Parts built to ISO 7049 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 cold heading or warm forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
