Small Parts 316 Stainless Steel Flat Washer, Plain Finish, Meets DIN 125, M2 Hole Size, 2.2mm ID, 5mm OD, 0.3mm Nominal Thickness (Pack of 100)

The 316 stainless steel flat washer has a plain finish and meets Deutsches Institut fr Normung DIN 125 specifications. The flat washer provides a bearing surface for fastener load distribution or is used as a spacer between components. The 316 stainless steel grade provides strength and offers better corrosion resistance than 18-8 stainless steel, especially in marine environments. The material may be slightly magnetic.

Washers distribute the load of a fastener across a surface and can also be used as spacers, springs, shims, or locking devices. Several different washer styles fit a variety of application and installation requirements. The most common style is a flat washer. More specialized washers provide additional benefits. A cup washer, for example, helps protect fasteners from electrical currents, while a lock washer offers additional security in an assembled workpiece.
