Value Collection 350-5608-61 6-32 X 1/2 in Torx Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 350-5608-61 is a 6-32 x 1/2-inch socket cap head machine screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a Torx drive interface. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fully threaded fastener delivers reliable clamping force and corrosion resistance in a compact form factor. The T15 Torx drive reduces cam-out compared to Phillips or slotted drives, making it well suited for tight-clearance assemblies. It meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for industrial and mechanical applications.

This screw is used across a broad range of mechanical, electrical, and HVAC panel assemblies where a low-profile socket cap head and secure Torx engagement are required. Typical applications include control board mounting, equipment enclosures, sheet metal subassemblies, and precision mechanical components. The 6-32 thread size is a common unified coarse pitch used in light-duty structural and electronic fastening. The black oxide finish provides a degree of mild corrosion protection while reducing light reflection in finished assemblies.

Key Features

• 6-32 unified coarse thread, fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• 1/2-inch length under head for standard panel and bracket applications
• T15 Torx drive reduces cam-out and driver wear during installation
• Alloy steel construction provides tensile strength appropriate for light structural fastening
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and a clean, low-glare appearance
• Meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 socket cap head machine screw suitable for use in any application requiring ANSI B18.3-compliant socket cap fasteners with a T15 Torx drive interface.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T15 Torx driver or bit; use of an incorrect drive size may strip the recess or damage the fastener head. Apply appropriate thread engagement depth into tapped holes per ANSI standards — a minimum of 1 to 1.5 times the screw diameter is generally recommended for alloy steel fasteners. Power down or de-energize any equipment before installing fasteners near live electrical components. Do not exceed the rated torque capacity for 6-32 alloy steel fasteners as specified by the applicable mechanical design standard.
