Small Parts M8D125A Steel Flat Washer, Zinc Plated Finish, DIN 125, Metric, M8 Screw Size, 8.4 mm ID, 16 mm OD, 1.6 mm Thick (Pack of 100)

The steel flat washer has a zinc plated finish and meets Deutsches Institut für Normung DIN 125 specifications. The flat washer provides a bearing surface for fastener load distribution or is used as a spacer between components. Steel is often used in applications where strength is the primary consideration. The zinc plating offers corrosion resistance and has a reflective appearance.

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.
