Holo-krome 06008 Socket Jam Screw 8-32 Unc Alloy Steel

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 06008 is a socket jam screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile threaded fastener with precise torque control via hex key drive. This screw features an 8-32 UNC thread and an overall length of 7/64 inches, making it suited for tight-clearance installations where standard-height set screws or nuts cannot be used. It is manufactured from alloy steel with no surface coating applied, delivering consistent mechanical performance in dry or lightly loaded fastening situations. Installation requires a 5/64-inch hex key. This type of fastener is commonly installed by mechanical assemblers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on machine components, fixtures, and precision assemblies.

Socket jam screws in this size class are typically used in light mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, jigs, fixtures, and equipment frames where thread locking or low-profile clamping force is needed. The 8-32 UNC thread is a widely used coarse thread standard in North American manufacturing, compatible with standard 8-32 tapped holes. This part is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard North American tapped holes
• 7/64-inch overall length for low-profile, tight-clearance installations
• 5/64-inch hex key drive for precise installation torque
• Alloy steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Uncoated finish - no surface treatment that could affect critical tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC socket jam screw for use in any application with a properly tapped 8-32 UNC threaded hole requiring a low-profile hex-drive fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/64-inch hex key; use a calibrated torque driver when the application specifies a torque value to avoid thread stripping in softer materials. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners on moving or powered assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards for thread engagement depth and torque specifications for the 8-32 UNC thread class.
