Value Collection 350-0406-61 Socket Cap Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 350-0406-61 is a 1/4-20 socket cap head machine screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in high-torque applications. Measuring 3/8 inches in length under the head and fully threaded, this screw features a Torx T30 drive recess that reduces cam-out and allows higher torque transfer compared to hex or Phillips drives. The alloy steel construction with a black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and maintains dimensional stability under load. Manufactured to ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 standards, it is suited for precision assembly, mechanical enclosures, and structural fastening tasks performed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This fastener is used in general industrial, mechanical, and trade applications where a low-profile cap head with Torx drive engagement is required. Common install scenarios include panel mounting, bracket assembly, equipment enclosures, and machine component fastening. The fully threaded 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern accepts standard nuts and threaded inserts widely used in HVAC equipment frames, electrical panels, and mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC fully threaded for broad compatibility with standard threaded hardware
• 3/8 inch length under head suits shallow-clearance fastening applications
• Torx T30 drive reduces cam-out and allows higher applied torque than Phillips or slotted drives
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile strength for demanding mechanical assemblies
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light glare on finished assemblies
• Meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 socket cap head machine screw for use in any application requiring UNC 1/4-20 threading and a T30 Torx drive interface, including mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and panel mounting across industrial and trade environments.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T30 Torx driver or bit rated for the applied torque. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. De-energize or shut down any equipment before fastening components to live assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes, including NEC guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures.
