Value Collection 201185PR Button Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 201185PR is a button socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a low-profile head and a secure hex socket drive. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw measures 3/8-24 thread size with a 1-inch length under the head and a 7/32-inch hex socket drive. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. A hardness rating of 36-43 HRC makes this fastener well-suited for moderate to high-stress mechanical joints.

This button socket cap screw is used in machine assembly, fixture building, tooling plates, and general mechanical fabrication. The low-profile button head sits flush against mating surfaces where clearance is limited and a standard hex cap head would interfere with adjacent components. Applications span light industrial machinery, equipment enclosures, and structural brackets where a clean, recessed fastener is preferred. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Button-style low-profile head for clearance-restricted assemblies
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for standard Allen key or hex bit installation
• Alloy steel construction with 36-43 HRC hardness for high-strength fastening
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• Fully threaded 3/8-24 UNF right-hand thread for precise engagement
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-24 UNF button socket cap screw per ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835, compatible with any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to 3/8-24 UNF Class 3A thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 7/32-inch hex key or Allen-type driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Apply appropriate thread locking compound or fastener torque per the assembly drawing specifications for the application. Always de-energize and isolate any machinery before performing fastener maintenance or replacement.
