Value Collection 353-5608-01 Button Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 353-5608-01 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile fastener with high tensile strength. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards. It features a 6-32 UNC-3A thread at 1/2 inch length under head and is driven with a Torx Plus IP10 bit. The button head profile keeps the fastener close to the mating surface, reducing snag points in assemblies where clearance is limited. Hardness is rated at 39 to 44 HRC, making it suitable for moderate to high-stress mechanical joints. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This screw is used across a broad range of industrial, mechanical, and light structural assembly applications. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, making it a practical choice for equipment panels, enclosures, and precision mechanical assemblies. The right-hand, fully threaded 6-32 configuration fits standard tapped holes used in electronics enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and general sheet metal assemblies where a flush or near-flush head profile is required.

Key Features

• Button head profile for low-profile, snag-resistant installations
• Torx Plus IP10 drive for improved torque transfer and reduced bit slippage
• Alloy steel construction with 39 to 44 HRC hardness rating
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced reflectivity
• 6-32 UNC right-hand thread with Class 3A fit for precision engagement
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or general-use button socket cap screw for any application requiring a 6-32 UNC-3A right-hand threaded fastener with a 1/2 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed using a Torx Plus IP10 driver to ensure full engagement and avoid drive damage. Confirm the mating thread is tapped to 6-32 UNC before installation. Do not overtighten, as alloy steel fasteners at this size can strip tapped holes in softer substrate materials such as aluminum or plastic. Always follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and the equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific joint.
