Brass Hex Nut, Plain Finish, DIN 934, Metric, M4-0.7 Thread Size, 7 mm Width Across Flats, 3.2 mm Thick (Pack of 100)

The brass hex nut has a plain finish and meets Deutsches Institut für Normung DIN 934 specifications. It has six flat sides that a wrench can grip to turn from the side, enabling use when there is no space above the nut. Brass provides corrosion resistance and offers thermal and electrical conductivity. The material is nonmagnetic.
Nuts are internally threaded fasteners that are used with bolts and threaded rods and studs to connect components. Several different nut styles fit a variety of application and installation requirements. Some styles, such as hex nuts, acorn nuts, flange nuts, and coupling nuts, must be tightened with a tool. Others, such as eye nuts, thumb nuts, and wing nuts, can be tightened by hand. Some nuts have a self-locking mechanism, such as a nylon patch or distorted threads, that makes them suitable for applications with a high amount of vibration.
