Catalog inquiry range: M6 - 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.
Applications and selection
Confined pockets and low-profile assemblies designed around a thin square nut.
Specify thickness, width and thread engagement. Check the pocket dimensions and mechanical requirements with the intended mating fastener.
Materials, surface finishes and standards
Materials for this series: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel. Surface finishes: HDG, Stainless. 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.
Thin square-nut height must be confirmed by standard edition or drawing; do not infer equivalence from the product name. 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

Request a quotation →Common questions about square thin nuts
Is a thin square nut defined only by its thread size?
No. The body width, thickness, chamfers and required properties also determine whether it fits the assembly.
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.
