Slotted screw DIN 84 M2x10 (10pcs)

The cylindrical head screw that should not be missing in any hobby workshop

Small in size, essential in practice. The slotted screw DIN 84 M2x10 is one of those parts that one truly appreciates when it is missing in the middle of an assembly. Metric 2, length of 10 mm and cylindrical head with straight slot: the DIN 84 standard that has been a reference for fine adjustments in mechanics, electronics and modelling for decades.

Technical specifications

• Standard: DIN 84 (cylindrical head with straight slot)
• Metric: M2
• Length: 10 mm
• Drive: flat screwdriver
• Pack contents: 10 units

Function and applications in the hobby

The M2 metric is one of the most commonly used in slot and static modelling assemblies. Its small diameter allows work in very tight spaces — securing bases, anchoring bodies, assembling chassis and holding small electronic components — without compromising the strength of the joint.

The length of 10 mm provides a good grip in medium thickness materials, such as metal plates, resin parts or printed supports, without being too long or too short for most common workshop applications.

Assembly and preparation

As it is a straight slot screw, it is recommended to use a narrow flat screwdriver that fits well into the width of the slot to avoid slipping and damaging the head. In applications where frequent disassembly is anticipated, it is good practice to apply a minimal amount of low-strength thread locker to prevent loosening due to vibration without complicating maintenance.

The pack of 10 units is convenient both for keeping in stock and for distributing across several ongoing projects.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a DIN 84 screw and a DIN 912?

The DIN 84 has a cylindrical head with a straight slot (for flat screwdriver), while the DIN 912 is a cylindrical head screw with an internal hexagonal socket (for Allen key). Both are used in modelling and slot, depending on the manufacturer and the type of assembly.

Is M2 the appropriate metric for slot and model work?

Yes, M2 is one of the most common metrics in these hobbies. It is used for securing motors, bases, guides and other small components where space is limited and a fine-profile screw with sufficient strength is needed.

Can I use these screws on plastic or resin parts?

Yes, as long as the part has the appropriate threaded accommodation for M2 or a counter nut is used. In soft materials, it is advisable not to over-tighten to avoid damaging the thread.

How many units are included in the pack?

The pack contains 10 units of slotted screw DIN 84 M2x10.

The DIN 84 M2x10 slotted screw (pack of 10) is a precision fastener widely used in slot car assembly, static model kits, and fine hobby workbench tasks. Cylinder head, straight slot drive, M2 thread, 10 mm length — a reliable standard component for any modeller or slot enthusiast looking for accurate, repeatable fixings in tight spaces.
