Value Collection 88547765 Flat Socket Cap Screw 6-32 3/8 in 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547765 is a flat socket cap screw engineered for applications that require a flush or countersunk fastener profile. Built from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw delivers solid mechanical strength alongside moderate corrosion resistance in controlled environments. It uses a 5/64-inch hex socket drive, making it compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers. The 6-32 UNC thread pattern and 3/8-inch overall length make it a common choice in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and precision equipment where a low-profile head is required. Each package contains 50 screws.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where the fastener head must sit flush with or below the surface of the mating material. Typical install scenarios include panel assemblies, electronics enclosures, instrument housings, and light-duty machinery. The black oxide finish reduces surface reflectivity and provides mild rust inhibition, making it appropriate for indoor and low-humidity environments. Machinists, equipment technicians, and electricians routinely use this screw size in standard inch-measurement assemblies.

Key Features

• Flat head design allows flush or countersunk installation for a low-profile surface finish
• Alloy steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light-to-medium mechanical loads
• Black oxide finish reduces glare and offers mild corrosion protection in dry indoor environments
• 5/64-inch hex socket drive works with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 6-32 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with common inch-series tapped holes
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for job-lot use and shop stock

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard inch-series tapped holes with 6-32 UNC thread specification, suitable for alloy steel flat socket cap screw applications in light mechanical, electrical, and precision instrument assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/64-inch hex key or Allen driver; do not substitute a larger or smaller driver size, as this can strip the socket. Countersink the mating material to the correct angle to ensure full flat-head seating before torquing. Confirm the tapped hole thread standard is 6-32 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening screws in or near energized enclosures, in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 lockout-tagout procedures.
