Value Collection 0604EH 6-32 X 1/4 in Hex Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0604EH is a 6-32 hex head machine screw with a hex drive, designed for use in light-duty mechanical assembly applications. The screw measures 1/4 inch in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. The external tooth washer style provides built-in locking capability at the bearing surface. This fastener meets ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards, making it suitable for applications requiring a recognized fastener specification. Electricians, HVAC technicians, panel builders, and general mechanical assemblers commonly use this size when securing components to sheet metal or threaded housings.

This screw is well-suited for residential and commercial assembly work involving control panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, and light mechanical fixtures. The 6-32 thread is a standard unified coarse thread commonly found in equipment manufactured to North American specifications. The zinc finish provides a basic level of corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and protected environments. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 6-32 unified thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts
• Hex head with hex drive for use with standard hex keys or socket drivers
• External tooth washer style provides locking action without a separate washer
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor use
• Meets ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 fastener standards
• Steel construction for reliable tensile strength in mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.13a or SAE J82 compliant hex head fastener with a 1/4 inch length under head measurement.

Installation Notes

Install using a hex key or socket driver sized to the hex head. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten, as the 6-32 thread is a fine gauge and susceptible to stripping in soft materials. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or panel before installing or removing fasteners in live equipment.
