Techcon M3 x 14mm Button Head Socket Cap Screw, Stainless Steel

Description

Dispenser parts for Techcon fluid dispensing equipment include the small fasteners that hold covers, brackets, and light-duty mounts together through repeated service cycles. This M3 x 14mm button head socket cap screw is one of those fastener-level components, sized for smaller brackets and cover panels on compatible Techcon equipment.

Dispenser parts specifications

• Thread: M3 (metric)
• Length: 14mm
• Head style: button head socket cap (BHSC), low profile
• Drive: hex socket
• Material: stainless steel
• Manufacturer: Techcon (OK International / Dover)

Smaller fasteners like this M3 screw are used throughout dispense equipment on covers, sensor brackets, and light-duty mounting points where a heavier M6 fastener would be oversized for the mating material. A button head profile keeps the fastener low and rounded so it does not snag cable routing or interfere with an adjacent moving part, which matters on compact dispense stations where clearances are tight.

Dispenser parts fitment

Confirm thread length against your equipment’s service drawing or bill of materials before ordering a replacement. A 14mm screw is short enough that even a small mismatch in bore depth can leave the joint under-engaged, so match length as closely as the fitment or cover-panel documentation calls for rather than substituting on thread size alone. Stainless steel is the standard material for this class of small hardware because a dispense station sees regular exposure to adhesive overspray, cleaning solvents, and shop humidity, all of which accelerate corrosion on plain steel fasteners and make later removal difficult.

Tighten to a light, snug torque appropriate for M3 hardware. Small fasteners like this one strip easily if over-torqued, particularly when threading into a thinner cover panel or a softer housing material, while under-torquing leaves a cover or bracket free to rattle loose under the vibration a dispense station sees during normal operation. Keep a small assortment of spare M3 hardware on the bench, since a stripped cover screw is one of the more common nuisance failures during routine servicing.

Dispenser parts ordering notes

Stock this screw with other dispensers, mixers, and nozzles service hardware so a routine cover or bracket repair is not held up waiting on a single fastener. For manufacturer platform context, see Techcon’s fluid dispensing systems.
