Armor Coat UST235890 Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc 2 in

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235890 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in precision mechanical and structural assemblies. This fastener features a 6-32 UNC thread size with a 2-inch length under the head and is driven by a 7/64-inch hex socket key. Partial threading provides a smooth shank section that supports shear load applications. Constructed from alloy steel with an Armor Coat finish, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding industrial environments. Compliance with ASME B18.3 ensures dimensional consistency across replacement and production applications.

This screw is appropriate for use in light mechanical assemblies, electronic enclosures, equipment panels, and machine components where a compact, low-profile cap head and reliable clamp load are required. The 6-32 UNC thread form is widely used in instrumentation, HVAC controls, electrical panels, and similar trade equipment. Installation typically occurs in metal or pre-tapped components. The Armor Coat finish adds a layer of protection in environments with moderate moisture or chemical exposure.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with 2-inch length under head for deep fastening reach
• Partially threaded shank supports both tensile and shear load conditions
• 7/64-inch hex drive for precise torque application with standard allen keys
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength
• Armor Coat finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance over bare steel
• Meets ASME B18.3 dimensional standard for consistent fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production fastener for any application requiring a 6-32 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 2-inch length under head, conforming to ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/64-inch hex key or allen driver. Ensure the receiving threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration is anticipated in the application. Follow torque guidelines specified in the equipment service manual for 6-32 fasteners, and power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations in electrical or control assemblies.
