Holo-krome 68018 Low Socket Cap Screw 10-24 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 68018 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where standard socket cap head height is too tall to clear mating components or enclosure walls. Sized at 10-24 UNC thread with a 3/4-inch length measured under the head, this fastener is fully threaded along its entire shank. It is machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides a degree of corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. The hex socket drive measures 3/32 inches (0.0938 inches decimal) across, requiring a matching hex key for installation and removal. Head height is 0.0980 inches, making it suitable for low-clearance clamping or flush-mounting scenarios.

This fastener is used across industrial, mechanical, and fabrication applications where a recessed drive and reduced head profile are required. Typical install scenarios include machine guarding, fixture plates, panel assemblies, precision equipment enclosures, and tooling jigs where a standard button or socket cap head would interfere with adjacent components. It is appropriate for both light structural and clamping duty in metal-to-metal assemblies. Installers in mechanical maintenance, machine building, and industrial fabrication are the primary users of this style fastener.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile at 0.0980 inches head height for tight-clearance installations
• 10-24 UNC coarse thread, fully threaded shank, 3/4-inch length under head
• Alloy steel construction conforming to ASTM A574 for tensile strength requirements
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive per ASME B18.3
• Inch measurement system; compatible with standard SAE hex keys

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fastener for any 10-24 UNC tapped hole application requiring a low socket cap head profile in inch-measurement assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32-inch hex key or matching hex bit driver; confirm driver fit before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or published alloy steel fastener torque tables for 10-24 thread class. Black oxide finish offers limited corrosion protection and should not be used as a substitute for plated or stainless fasteners in wet or outdoor environments.
