It features a 3\/8-24 UNF thread size with a 3-inch length under head and is driven by a 5\/16-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener offers corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection. It conforms to ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial and trade applications where tensile strength and dimensional precision are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cap screw is suited for use in equipment assembly, jig and fixture construction, machine tool mounting, and general mechanical fastening where a recessed drive and high clamp load are needed. The 3\/8-24 UNF fine thread pitch provides greater thread engagement and improved resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse thread alternatives. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 units, it is appropriate for shop stock, maintenance inventory, and production line use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-24 UNF fine thread for high clamping force and vibration resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch length under head for deep grip in thicker assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex drive for use with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 high-strength requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ASME\/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard ASME\/ANSI B18.3 hex socket cap screw suitable for mechanical assemblies, machine components, and fixtures requiring a 3\/8-24 UNF partially threaded fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed using a 5\/16-inch hex key or Allen-style driver bit.
