Value Collection 88546437 Button Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546437 is a 10-32 x 3/4 inch button socket cap screw manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish. The button head profile provides a low-profile clamping surface suitable for applications where a standard hex cap screw would protrude. Drive engagement is through a 1/8 inch hex socket. These fasteners carry a hardness rating of 36-43 HRC and conform to ANSI/ASME B18.3, making them appropriate for structural and mechanical assemblies where dimensional consistency and material strength are required. Each package contains 25 pieces.

Button socket cap screws in this size range are commonly used in machine assemblies, panels, guards, brackets, and enclosures across manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance applications. The 10-32 UNF thread class 3A fit provides a close tolerance engagement well suited to tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The black oxide coating offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, which is useful in optical, electronic, and industrial enclosure applications. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on mechanical assemblies are the primary installers.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread with class 3A fit for close-tolerance tapped hole engagement
• 3/4 inch length under head for consistent grip across standard material stack-ups
• 1/8 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and ball-end drivers
• Alloy steel construction with 36-43 HRC hardness for high-strength fastening
• Black oxide coating for mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance finish
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.3 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF button socket cap screw per ANSI/ASME B18.3, suitable for use in any tapped or clearance hole application specifying this thread size, drive type, and head style.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/8 inch hex key or ball-end driver; ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply consistent torque per applicable fastener specifications for the material being joined. Black oxide fasteners are not intended for outdoor or high-humidity environments without additional corrosion protection. Always inspect threads for damage before installation in load-bearing applications.
