Value Collection MS35649-242 Hex Nut 4-40 Cadmium Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35649-242 is a 4-40 machine screw hex nut manufactured from Grade A steel with a cadmium-plated finish. This fastener features a right-hand thread and meets military specification MS35649, making it appropriate for applications that require verified dimensional and material compliance. The nut measures 0.25 inches across flats and 0.098 inches in height. It is used by maintenance technicians, aerospace assembly workers, and trade professionals who require a small-diameter, mil-spec hex nut for securing components in controlled or demanding environments.

This hex nut is suited for use with 4-40 machine screws in light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, panel mounting, and similar applications where a compact fastener footprint is needed. The cadmium plating provides corrosion resistance in environments where bare steel would be insufficient. Its compliance with MS35649 makes it a fit for military, government, and industrial procurement specifications requiring traceable fastener standards.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 4-40 machine screws conforming to UN thread standards; meets MS35649 fastener specification for military and industrial assemblies requiring grade-verified hex nuts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a 0.25-inch wrench or nut driver. Power down or de-energize any assembly before installing fasteners near electrical components. Do not overtighten small machine screw hardware, as Grade A nuts are sized for light clamping loads. Follow applicable assembly drawings or military specifications for torque guidance specific to your application.
