Value Collection 701095PR Button Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 701095PR is a 10-24 x 5/16 inch button socket cap screw machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating. The button head profile sits low against the work surface, making it a common choice when clearance is tight or a smooth, rounded head is preferred over a standard cap style. The 1/8 inch hex socket drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. Hardness is rated at 36-43 HRC, meeting ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards. Licensed tradespeople, machinists, and maintenance technicians working with light-duty assemblies will find this screw appropriate for a wide range of metalworking and mechanical applications.

This screw is suited for applications requiring a low-profile head where a hex socket drive is preferred over an external drive form. The 10-24 UNC thread designation means it is a Unified National Coarse thread, which seats quickly and holds well in typical through-hole or tapped-hole assemblies. Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, making it a practical choice in tool fixtures, machine guards, panels, and similar industrial or light-manufacturing assemblies. Thread fit class 3A indicates a standard close-tolerance fit appropriate for most precision fastening work.

Key Features

• Button head profile for low-clearance installations where a rounded head is required
• 1/8 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction rated at 36-43 HRC hardness per ASTM F835
• Black oxide coating for mild corrosion resistance and reduced reflectivity
• 10-24 UNC right-hand thread, class 3A fit for consistent close-tolerance engagement
• Fully threaded along the 5/16 inch length under head

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-install fastener for any assembly requiring a 10-24 UNC button socket cap screw conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or machinist using a correctly sized 1/8 inch hex key or hex socket bit to avoid rounding the drive socket. Verify that the tapped hole or nut thread is also 10-24 UNC and in good condition before installation. Do not use an impact driver on small-diameter cap screws, as this risks stripping the socket or over-torquing the fastener. Confirm the correct thread engagement depth for the base material before finalizing the assembly.
