Value Collection 88546536 Button Socket Cap Screw 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546536 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile fastening solution with reliable clamping strength. Machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating, this screw meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 standards and carries a Thread Fit Class 3A designation for consistent, accurate thread engagement. The 6-32 UNC thread and 3/8-inch length under head make it well suited for light mechanical assemblies where head clearance is limited. Drive is a 5/64-inch hex socket. Each package contains 25 screws. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical technicians commonly stock these fasteners for panel, bracket, and equipment enclosure work.

This fastener is appropriate for a wide range of indoor mechanical, electrical, and industrial assembly applications. The button head profile keeps the fastener below or flush with surrounding material surfaces, reducing snagging and interference in tight enclosures, control panels, and sheet metal brackets. The black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance in dry or low-humidity environments. This screw is suitable for residential and light commercial trade work wherever a 6-32 UNC threaded hole or tapped insert is specified.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC right-hand thread with Thread Fit Class 3A for precise engagement

• Button head style provides low-profile clearance in confined spaces
• 5/64-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen wrenches and hex keys
• Alloy steel construction with 36-43 HRC hardness for consistent clamping force
• Black oxide coating for mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any application specifying a 6-32 UNC button socket cap screw per ANSI/ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/64-inch hex key or ball-end Allen driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing internal fasteners on electrical or HVAC components. Do not exceed the designed thread engagement depth for the mating material, and verify thread condition in the receiving hole before installation. Follow applicable mechanical codes for the trade discipline involved.
