It features a 3\/8-24 UNF thread size with a 3-1\/2 inch length under head and uses a 5\/16 inch hex drive. The screw is partially threaded, which helps maintain clamping force across mating surfaces without thread engagement along the full shank. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it resists corrosion and maintains dimensional integrity under torque loads. This fastener meets ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for structural and precision fastening tasks where rated strength and fit tolerance are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is commonly used in machine assembly, equipment maintenance, jig and fixture fabrication, and general mechanical work requiring a fine-thread UNF fastener. The fine 3\/8-24 thread pitch provides higher thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread, making it well suited for thin materials, vibration-prone assemblies, and applications where precise torque control matters. It is typically installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical tradespeople working on machinery, structural brackets, and equipment panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-24 UNF fine thread for high thread engagement and vibration resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-1\/2 inch length under head suits medium to deep fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePartially threaded shank maintains clamping load across joined surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch internal hex drive for standard Allen wrench or hex bit socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with black oxide finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards for socket cap screws\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 use in any application requiring a 3\/8-24 UNF partially threaded cap screw with a 5\/16 inch hex drive and 3-1\/2 inch length under head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a calibrated torque wrench with a 5\/16 inch hex bit or Allen key.
