Value Collection 011071PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-40 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011071PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a low-profile, high-strength connection. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw features a 6-40 UNF thread and measures 0.5 inches in length under the head. It is fully threaded and driven with a 7/64 inch hex key. At 0.01 pounds per piece, it is suited for compact assemblies where torque transmission and thread engagement matter. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working with equipment enclosures, control panels, and mechanical assemblies rely on this type of fastener for secure, repeatable clamping.

This screw is appropriate for light mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, electrical enclosures, and precision equipment requiring fine-thread fasteners. The 6-40 UNF thread pitch offers greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it well-suited for thin material sections and applications where vibration resistance and fine adjustment are priorities. It is commonly used in both industrial maintenance and OEM production environments.

Key Features

• 6-40 UNF fully threaded profile for maximum thread engagement
• 7/64 inch internal hex drive for precise torque application in tight spaces
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• 0.5 inch length under head suits thin-section and compact assembly applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 6-40 UNF fine-thread fastener with a 7/64 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/64 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply appropriate torque per ASME B18.3 guidelines for the fastener size and material. Do not exceed rated torque, as alloy steel socket cap screws in fine-thread applications are susceptible to thread stripping in softer mating materials.
