Value Collection 701117PR Button Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 701117PR is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile fastened joint with high clamping strength. The screw features a 10-32 UNF thread and measures 2 inches under the head, with a 1/8-inch hex socket drive. It is manufactured from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection. Hardness is rated at 36-43 HRC, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards. Machinists, fabricators, and mechanical assembly technicians commonly install this fastener in panel assemblies, brackets, and precision equipment enclosures.

This screw is suited for threaded assemblies where a standard hex socket cap screw head height would interfere with adjacent components or mating surfaces. The button head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing area than a flat-head design. Typical applications include sheet metal fabrication, machine guarding, electronic enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies where a clean, low-profile fastener is needed. The right-hand 3A thread fit class ensures consistent engagement in standard tapped holes. The black oxide finish is commonly chosen in applications where minimal surface reflectivity or a uniform dark appearance is specified.

Key Features

• Button head profile provides low clearance and wide bearing surface
• 10-32 UNF right-hand thread with 3A fit class for precise engagement
• Alloy steel construction rated 36-43 HRC for high shear and tensile strength
• Black oxide coating for moderate corrosion resistance and low reflectivity
• 1/8-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and bit drivers
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement fastener for standard 10-32 UNF tapped holes in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and fabricated components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or mechanical assembly technicians using a 1/8-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not exceed the rated clamp load by over-torquing, as button head screws have a lower torque threshold than standard hex socket cap screws of the same thread size. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards for torque specification based on thread size and joint material.
