Applications and selection
Defined low-profile assemblies or nut arrangements that specify a thin component.
Provide nut height, thread details and required mechanical properties. Reduced height changes the available thread engagement.

Catalog inquiry range: M5 - M30. Availability, lengths, grades and finishes are confirmed by quotation. Sizes outside the cited reference table require the applicable standard dimensions or an approved drawing. Quote the exact standard and edition; DIN, ISO and U.S. references are not automatically interchangeable.
Materials, surface finishes and standards
Materials for this series: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel. Surface finishes: Plain Black, Zinc Plated, HDG. Compatibility between the grade, finish and operating environment needs to be confirmed.
For titanium, nickel alloy or other non-ferrous requirements, include the exact material grade and drawing. Required mechanical properties, inspection documents and traceability should be stated in the inquiry.
Related U.S. references for jam or thin hex nuts. Confirm nut height and thread engagement. Standards from different systems can vary in dimensions, threads, product scope and test requirements. Confirm the exact designation and edition in the quotation.
Ordering standard
DIN 936:1985
United States references for a separate inquiry: ASME B18.2.2 (inch); ASME B18.2.4.5M (metric). Confirm the exact form, thread system and drawing before quoting.
What to send for a quotation
- Hex Thin Nuts or your part number, with the relevant standard and edition.
- Exact dimensions, thread details, quantity and any critical tolerances.
- Material grade, surface finish, inspection requirements and delivery destination.
- For customization, a drawing revision and a description of the mating assembly.
Common questions about hex thin nuts
Does the same thread size make a thin nut equivalent to a full nut?
No. Height, thread engagement and mechanical requirements differ and must be checked against the design.
Can I request a size or material outside this listing?
Yes. Send the required dimensions and exact material grade for review. A quotation is needed to confirm feasibility, price and lead time.
