Armor Coat UST235880 Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235880 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in tight-clearance applications. Sized at 6-32 UNC with a 1/4-inch length under head, this screw is fully threaded and driven by a 7/64-inch hex key. The base material is alloy steel, finished with an Armor Coat coating for added surface protection. It is well suited for mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and similar trade applications where a flush, recessed-drive fastener is required. Installation is handled by mechanics, field technicians, or assemblers using standard Allen wrenches or hex driver bits.

This screw fits applications calling for a 6-32 UNC thread pitch in compact fastening scenarios. The 1/4-inch under-head length makes it appropriate for thin-material assemblies such as sheet metal panels, control box covers, and equipment brackets commonly found in HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical work. The alloy steel construction provides the tensile strength required for vibration-prone environments, and the Armor Coat finish provides a measure of corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty service conditions.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread for standard inch-series fastening in light-gauge assemblies
• 1/4-inch length under head suits thin-panel and cover-plate installations
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the full grip length
• 7/64-inch hex socket drive allows use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction delivers the tensile and shear strength required in vibration-prone equipment
• Armor Coat finish adds surface protection against light corrosion and handling wear

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any assembly requiring a 6-32 UNC fully threaded hex socket cap screw with a 1/4-inch under-head length.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 7/64-inch hex key or appropriately sized hex bit driver. De-energize and lockout any electrical or mechanical equipment before replacing fasteners on live panels or moving assemblies. Do not exceed the recommended seating torque for 6-32 alloy steel screws as specified by the equipment manufacturer. Inspect threads in the mating component before installation to avoid cross-threading or stripping.
