Value Collection 88547658 Flat Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547658 is a flat socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or countersunk head profile. Sized at 10-32 UNF by 3/8 inches overall length, this fastener features a 1/8-inch hex socket drive for use with a standard hex key or Allen wrench. The alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. A black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. This screw is commonly installed by machinists, millwrights, electricians, and mechanical contractors where a low-profile head is required.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for use in machine components, electrical enclosures, panel assemblies, and general mechanical hardware applications where a recessed head must sit flush with or below the mating surface. The 10-32 UNF thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in inch-measurement applications. Sold in a package quantity of 50, this item is appropriate for production use, bench stock replenishment, or maintenance operations requiring multiple fasteners of the same specification.

Key Features

• Flat head profile allows the fastener to sit flush or countersunk in the mating material
• 1/8-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex-bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-glare surface appearance
• 10-32 UNF thread standard for compatibility with common inch-system tapped holes
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for stock replenishment or production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 10-32 UNF thread, 3/8-inch overall length, and a countersunk hex socket head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a countersunk or flat-bottomed clearance hole in the mating material sized to accept the flat head geometry. Use a 1/8-inch hex key or Allen bit driver to install and torque the fastener. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling. Follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific joint material and load requirements.
