Metric DIN 439 are thin hexagonal jam nuts with a thickness of 0.5 x diameter. A hex jam nut is a low-profile type of hex nut,
typically about half as thick as a regular hex nut. It is often used as a lock nut, where it is threaded up against a standard
nut locking it in place. Also in circumstances where a standard nut is too thick for an application, a hex jam nut can be a very
useful alternative. Metric DIN 439 thin hex jam nuts are available unchamfered (Type A) and chamfered (Type B). These nuts

DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung - German Institute for Standardization) standards are issued for a variety of
components including industrial fasteners as metric DIN 439 thin hex jam nuts. The DIN standards remain common in
Germany. Europe and globally even though the transition to ISO standards is taking place. DIN standards continue to be
used for parts which do not have ISO equivalents or for which there is no need for standardization.

1) Mechanical properties of stainless steel for metric DIN 439 thin hex jam nuts

Stainless steels can be divided into three groups of steel - austenitic. ferritic and martensitic. Austenitic steel is by far the most
common type (>90% of commercial fasteners). The steel groups and strength classes are designated by a four-digit sequence
of letters and numbers (eg A2-70) as shown in the following table. DIN EN ISO 3506 governs screws and nuts made from
stainless steel.

Screws. Nuts and Bolts

Tensile Tensile
Strength strength strength Dia range Nut Load
Steel group Steel grade N/mm2 PSI

The tensile stress is calculated with reference to the tensile stress area (see DIN EN ISO 3506-1979). Nuts to be paired with same
