Value Collection 354-0616-01 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 354-0616-01 is a flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications in metal assemblies. It features an 82-degree flat head profile and a Torx Plus drive in T45 size, which provides superior torque transfer and reduced driver cam-out compared to hex socket drives. The fastener is fully threaded along its 1-inch overall length with a 3/8-16 UNC thread form. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers solid mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance in controlled environments. Licensed trades, machinists, and field technicians use this screw where a low-profile head is required to sit flush with or below the mating surface.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for general industrial, mechanical, and structural assembly work where countersunk fastening is specified. Typical applications include machine frames, fixture plates, equipment enclosures, and bracket assemblies that require a smooth finished surface. The UNC thread form is compatible with standard inch-system tapped holes and threaded inserts. The black oxide finish is appropriate for interior or protected installations where mild corrosion resistance is acceptable. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards, making it suitable for applications with defined fastener-grade requirements.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile seats flush in standard countersunk holes
• Torx Plus T45 drive provides high torque transfer and resists cam-out
• Fully threaded 1-inch overall length in 3/8-16 UNC thread form
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish adds mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard fastener for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded flat socket cap screw with an 82-degree head angle and T45 Torx Plus drive in inch-system assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T45 Torx Plus driver or bit rated for the applied torque. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or a standard fastener torque table for alloy steel socket cap screws at this diameter and grade. Ensure the mating countersink is machined to an 82-degree included angle for proper head seating. Inspect threads in the receiving hole for damage or contamination before installation to avoid galling or cross-threading.
