# Knurled nuts, DIN 466 (high) and DIN 467 (low): M1–M10 knurl diameter, collar, height

> What are the dimensions of a DIN 466 or DIN 467 knurled thumb nut, and how big is an M6 knurled nut?

- Category: Hardware › Fasteners
- Kind: Standard part
- Basis: fasten.it's DIN 466 and DIN 467 tables (both 08/2006, M1 to M10); numbers only

## Notes

- Columns (mm) as fasten.it prints them, without defining the letters: d thread; P pitch; dk nominal, read as the knurled head diameter (it is the largest diameter and runs 5.5 to 36 mm); ds nominal = max, read as the smaller diameter of the collar; h nominal = max, the height (high type DIN 466, low type DIN 467); k nominal = max. The two tables have identical dk, ds and k for every size and differ only in h (M6: 15 high, 6 low) and weight, so d, P, dk, ds and k are shared. These letter readings are not confirmed by the page, so check a maker drawing before relying on ds or k.
- Weights are kilograms per 1000 pieces for steel (7.85 kg/dm³), approximate: DIN 466 / DIN 467 shown. The standards cover M1 to M10 only (the page text says so for both).
- No file: the knurl pattern, the collar position and the thread relief are not published as numbers in the source read, so a drawing would be invented. DIN 464 knurled thumb screws (the male counterpart): knurled-thumb-screws-din-464. Wing nuts: wing-nuts-din-315-asme-b18-17.
- No McMaster-Carr category URL for knurled thumb nuts was returned by a web search, so none is linked.

## Questions

**What is the diameter of an M6 DIN 466 knurled nut?**

dk = 24 mm, ds = 12 mm, height 15 mm for the high type (DIN 467 low type: 6 mm high), k = 5 mm (fasten.it).
