Selectron 3,0x13 Chipboard Screw (1,000 Pieces)

Selectron 3.0×13 mm Chipboard Screw (1,000 Pieces)

The Selectron 3.0×13 mm Chipboard Screw is a countersunk‑head, zinc‑plated fastener with a diameter of 3.0 mm and a length of 13 mm. Supplied in carton boxes of 1,000 pieces and manufactured in compliance with DIN 7505 standard. The 13 mm length is particularly suited for joining two thin panels together or in confined fixing points where screw length is limited.

Technical Specifications

The 13 mm length is ideal where the screw must remain between two surfaces without breaking through the back of a thin panel. The countersunk head sits flush with the surface when driven home — creating a clean mounting face beneath hardware such as hinges, clips, and feet. The sharp point reduces the need for pre‑drilling in most chipboard and MDF applications.

What Fixings Suit the 3.0×13 mm Size?

This screw length is not intended as a heavy‑load structural fastener. Its use is primarily limited to short‑span fixings and mounting hardware onto thin panels.

Hinge, Clip, and Foot Installation

The 3×13 mm size is widely used for securing furniture hardware to carcasses. Hinge bases, mounting clips, and adjustable feet all require a screw that stays beneath the fitting and does not emerge through the panel’s reverse side — the 13 mm length strikes that balance perfectly.

Thin Panel and Back‑Panel Fixing

Used for securing cabinet backs, slim divider panels, and cladding sheets. The 3.0 mm diameter keeps splitting risk low while the 13 mm length prevents over‑penetration.

Skirting and Trim Batten Fixing

Also chosen for skirting boards, cladding battens, and thin profile mounting. The short length offers controlled penetration in narrow sections.

Small Repairs and Hobby Projects

Suitable for home furniture fixes, securing light shelves, and assembling decorative items. The 1,000‑piece pack provides convenient stock for regular users of this size.

Important Usage Notes

The 13 mm length is an advantage where the screw must sit between two panels; however, it is not sufficient for thick material or load‑bearing joints. For load‑bearing shelves, heavy cabinet carcasses, or high‑stress connections, select longer and thicker chipboard screws instead. Since excessive torque can strip threads in chipboard and MDF, keep your driver’s torque setting low and complete the final turns gently. Always use a Pozidriv (PZ) bit matching the countersunk head to prevent cam‑out.

Who Is the 1,000‑Piece Pack For?

The 3.0×13 mm size is a high‑consumption item, especially for workshops fitting hinges and hardware and anyone manufacturing or repairing furniture on a smaller scale. The 1,000‑piece carton reduces re‑order frequency for regular users and ensures this frequently needed size is always to hand.

In summary, the Selectron 3.0×13 mm Chipboard Screw is designed specifically for hardware mounting and thin‑panel fixings where a short screw is required, rather than long structural joints. DIN 7505 compliance and zinc plating deliver consistent holding power in chipboard, while the 13 mm length allows controlled work in tight fixing points.
