Value Collection 350-0506-61 Socket Cap Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 350-0506-61 is a 5/16-18 socket cap head machine screw engineered for high-torque fastening applications. It features a Torx drive (T45) that reduces cam-out compared to hex or Phillips drives, making it well-suited for production assembly and maintenance environments where controlled torque is critical. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw resists corrosion while maintaining a low-profile appearance. The 3/8-inch length under the head and fully threaded shank provide consistent clamping across thin to medium material stacks. Compliance with ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability with standardized hardware.

This fastener is used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical assembly applications, including machine frames, equipment enclosures, brackets, and panels where a recessed drive head and reliable thread engagement are required. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is a common coarse-thread standard found in general manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and light structural applications. It is typically installed by machine assemblers, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals working on commercial and industrial equipment.

Key Features

• Torx T45 drive reduces cam-out during high-torque installation
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in thin materials
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 standards for dimensional conformance
• Socket cap head profile allows installation in recessed or space-constrained locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC socket cap head machine screw for use in any application requiring a Torx T45 drive and alloy steel fastener conforming to ANSI B18.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install with a calibrated T45 Torx driver or bit to ensure proper seating and avoid fastener damage. Power down or de-energize any equipment before performing fastener service on live assemblies. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and general mechanical assembly codes. Do not over-drive; black oxide finishes can be damaged by excessive torque application.
