Value Collection 88546403 Button Socket Cap Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546403 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications where a low-profile fastener head is required. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, this screw delivers corrosion resistance and a matte finish suited to both mechanical assemblies and aesthetic installations. The 10-32 UNF thread specification with a 3/8 inch length under the head makes it a compact, high-strength fastener appropriate for light machinery, electronics enclosures, fixtures, and general fabrication work. The 1/8 inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver. This package contains 50 screws.

This fastener is used across a wide range of residential and commercial applications including equipment panels, machine guards, enclosures, and light structural assemblies where a button-head profile reduces snag points or clearance interference. The 10-32 thread size is common in electronics, instrumentation, and light-duty mechanical assemblies. Installers in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical trades regularly use this fastener type when securing panels, brackets, or cover assemblies that require a flush or near-flush head surface.

Key Features

• Button head profile provides low clearance and reduced snag risk versus standard socket cap screws
• Alloy steel construction with 36-43 HRC hardness rating for reliable tensile strength
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and a non-reflective appearance
• 1/8 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and hex bit drivers
• 10-32 UNF right-hand thread, Thread Fit Class 3A, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3
• Sold in a 50-piece package for bench stock or small project use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF button socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a ANSI/ASME B18.3 compliant fastener with a button head and 1/8 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/8 inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed the rated torque range for a 10-32 alloy steel fastener as specified in ANSI/ASME B18.3 or your application engineering guidelines. Black oxide coating provides limited corrosion protection and is not a substitute for plated or stainless fasteners in wet or outdoor environments.
