Value Collection 88546445 Button Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546445 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head with high clamping strength. The button head sits flush and round above the mating surface, making it suitable where a flat or pan head would interfere with adjacent components. Driven by a 1/8-inch hex socket, this screw features a 10-32 UNF thread in a 3A fit class, providing precise thread engagement. The alloy steel construction is finished with black oxide coating for mild corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Hardness is rated at 36-43 HRC. Licensed trades and industrial assemblers install this fastener across a wide range of mechanical and enclosure applications.

This button socket cap screw suits residential and commercial applications including panel fabrication, equipment enclosures, brackets, and light structural assemblies. The 10-32 UNF thread is common in electrical enclosures, HVAC control panels, and mechanical sub-assemblies where a fine thread pitch is specified. The black oxide finish is appropriate for indoor and low-moisture environments. Each package contains 25 screws with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement fastener for applications specifying a 10-32 UNF button socket cap screw with a 1/8-inch hex drive and 1-inch length under head, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Install with an appropriately sized 1/8-inch hex key or socket driver. Power down and de-energize any electrical panel or equipment before installing or removing fasteners in live enclosures, in accordance with NFPA 70E electrical safety requirements. Do not exceed recommended torque for 10-32 alloy steel fasteners as specified in the applicable assembly documentation. Inspect threads in the mating component before installation to confirm thread class compatibility.
