Value Collection 350-5508-61 Socket Cap Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 350-5508-61 is a 5-40 x 1/2 inch socket cap head machine screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fully threaded fastener offers solid corrosion resistance and strength in a compact form. The Torx T10 drive reduces cam-out compared to slotted or Phillips drive styles, making it well suited for tight spaces or high-torque applications. Compliance with ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 standards confirms dimensional accuracy and interchangeability in demanding assemblies.

This screw is used across a wide range of light mechanical, electrical enclosure, HVAC equipment panel, and instrumentation applications where a low-profile socket cap head and reliable clamping force are required. The 5-40 thread is common in small-device and control-panel assembly work. Trade installers, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals working on control boards, access panels, and equipment enclosures will find this fastener a direct fit for standard 5-40 tapped holes requiring a 1/2 inch grip length.

Key Features

• 5-40 UNC thread, fully threaded along the 1/2 inch length under head
• Socket cap head with Torx T10 drive for reduced cam-out and tool engagement in confined spaces
• Alloy steel construction with black oxide finish for corrosion and wear resistance
• Meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 dimensional standards
• Sold individually; minimum order quantity of 100 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stocking fastener for any assembly using 5-40 UNC tapped holes requiring a socket cap head screw with a 1/2 inch length under head and Torx T10 drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T10 Torx bit or driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading the alloy steel fastener. De-energize any electrical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures secured by these screws. Do not exceed the rated drive torque for the T10 interface, and avoid using impact drivers on small-diameter fasteners of this thread size.
