Value Collection 063022PR Button Socket Cap Screw 6-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 063022PR is a 6-32 x 1/4 inch button socket cap screw manufactured from 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a low-profile button head driven by a 5/64 inch hex socket key. The head height measures 0.073 inches, making it well suited for applications where clearance above the fastener is limited. The thread is a right-hand UNC 3A fit class, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this fastener in assemblies where corrosion resistance is required and a flush or near-flush head profile is preferred over a standard cap or flat head screw.

This fastener is commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, enclosure panels, electronic chassis, and equipment housings in marine, food-processing, chemical, and general industrial environments. The 316 stainless steel alloy provides elevated resistance to chloride corrosion compared to 304-grade fasteners, making it a preferred choice in wet or chemically exposed service conditions. It installs in any application calling for a 6-32 UNC thread with a button-head socket drive profile.

Key Features

• Button head profile keeps fastener height low at 0.073 inches for clearance-critical assemblies
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard allen keys
• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in marine and chemical environments
• Right-hand UNC 6-32 thread at 1/4 inch length under head
• Thread fit class 3A per ANSI/ASME B18.3 for consistent dimensional tolerance
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to flake, chip, or affect thread fit

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or stock fastener for any assembly specifying a 6-32 UNC button socket cap screw with a 1/4 inch length under head and a 5/64 inch hex socket drive, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/64 inch hex key or ball-end driver; ensure the driver is fully seated in the socket to avoid cam-out and head damage. Thread the fastener by hand before applying torque to prevent cross-threading, particularly in tapped aluminum or plastic. In stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer specifications for torque requirements.
