ISO 4161 M10 Flange
ISO 4161 M10 is a flange nut, on a M10 × 1.25 mm metric thread. A hex nut with a wide circular flange that spreads the clamping load and behaves like an integrated washer. Speeds up assembly versus nut + washer.

ISO 4161 is catalogued with DIN 6923 as its equivalent designation. Dimensions are compared field by field rather than assumed identical.
Choosing and fitting this size
ISO 4161 M10 is a M10 nut, on a 1.25 mm coarse pitch. Mating threads should be a matching class nut in the same property class.
Common stock grades are 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 in steel, plus A2-70 and A4-80 in stainless. Class 10.9 and 12.9 carry roughly 1.25 and 1.5 times the proof load of 8.8, but they also need a properly rated mating nut — a class 8 nut under a 12.9 bolt simply moves the failure into the thread. Zinc-plated 10.9 and above should be baked to avoid hydrogen embrittlement.
For a tapped hole, M10 × 1.25 mm takes a 8.75 mm tap drill, and the external thread's minor diameter is 8.47 mm — that is the section carrying the load, not the nominal M10 figure. Thread engagement of at least one times the nominal diameter is what lets the bolt fail before the thread strips.
