DIN 7984

a) Unlike DIN 912, DIN 7984 screws features a low-profile head and a hexagonal socket drive (Socket thin head cap screws) with metric thread ranging from size M3 to M24

b) DIN 7984 screws have a thinner head because they are designed to be countersunk, allowing them to sit flush with the material surface. However, this design may not provide the same torque transfer capacity as the thicker head of DIN 912 screws, which are designed to handle higher torque due to their thicker cylindrical head shape.
