Value Collection 872053PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872053PR is a 6-32 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in precision mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides reliable corrosion resistance in standard indoor and light industrial environments. The 7/64-inch hex drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. With a 1/4-inch length under head and full threading along the shank, it delivers consistent clamping force in tapped blind holes and through-hole applications. Compliant with ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, it meets the mechanical property requirements expected in engineered fastener applications.

This fastener suits a broad range of light mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation assembly work. Common applications include panel mounting, equipment housings, control enclosures, and fixture assembly where a low-profile socket head and compact 6-32 thread form are required. The zinc coating makes it appropriate for dry or minimally humid indoor environments. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread form with full threading along the entire shank length
• 1/4-inch length under head for shallow tapped hole applications
• 7/64-inch hex socket drive — compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical property requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor environments
• Compliant with ASME B18.8 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use socket cap screw for any application requiring a 6-32 UNC fully threaded hex socket fastener with a 1/4-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/64-inch hex key or Allen driver; do not use an undersized key as it will round the socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Apply only hand-torque appropriate for a size 6 screw — do not use power drivers without a torque-limiting clutch, as alloy steel fasteners at this size can shear under excessive rotational force. Follow applicable assembly or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines where specified.
