Value Collection 011045PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 5-40 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011045PR is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw intended for precision fastening applications in machinery, tooling, and fabrication work. It features a 5-40 UNC thread profile with a 3/8-inch length under the head and accepts a 3/32-inch hex drive. Manufactured from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating, this screw delivers solid tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and controlled-environment installations. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for applications where dimensional and mechanical compliance is required. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians typically install this fastener using a hex key or Allen driver.

This socket cap screw is suited for use in tight-clearance assemblies where a low-profile cap head and internal hex drive are necessary. Common applications include fixture building, jig construction, equipment enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies where a 5-40 UNC thread pitch is specified. The black oxide finish reduces light reflection and provides a degree of surface protection against mild oxidation. This item is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 100 units minimum.

Key Features

• 5-40 UNC fully threaded profile for consistent thread engagement
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys
• 3/8-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance fastening needs
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical requirements
• Black oxide coating reduces reflectivity and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5-40 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application or assembly specifying ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 compliant fasteners of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized 3/32-inch hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for a 5-40 alloy steel fastener in the mating material. Thread locking compound may be applied where vibration resistance is required.
