Value Collection MP72040 Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP72040 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in tight or recessed spaces where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach. This fastener features a 6-32 UNC thread size with a 3/8-inch length under head and is driven by a 7/64-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish coating, it offers solid tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance in indoor and protected environments. This package contains 50 pieces, making it practical for bench stock, maintenance kits, or production use.

This screw is commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, electronics enclosures, HVAC control panels, electrical junction boxes, and general equipment maintenance. The 6-32 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread size well suited to metal-tapped holes in thin stock and sheet metal components. Technicians in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades frequently use fasteners of this type when servicing control boards, mounting brackets, access panels, and terminal blocks.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a correctly sized 7/64-inch hex key or ball-end hex driver to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole meets 6-32 UNC thread specifications before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fasteners on electrical or HVAC assemblies. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic standoffs, as thread stripping may occur.
