Value Collection MS35649-262 Hex Nut 6-32 Grade a Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35649-262 is a machine screw hex nut designed for use with 6-32 threaded fasteners. Manufactured from Grade A steel with a cadmium-plated finish, this nut meets Military Specification MS35649, making it suitable for defense, aerospace, and other applications where material traceability and specification compliance are required. The right-hand thread pattern follows UN thread standards. At 0.114 inches in height and 5/16 inches across flats, this nut fits standard hex wrench and socket tooling. Electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general tradespeople use hardware like this daily in panel assembly, equipment mounting, and structural fastening tasks.

This nut is appropriate for light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly applications where a 6-32 machine screw thread is specified. Its cadmium finish provides corrosion resistance in environments where bare steel would be inadequate. The military-spec rating makes it a common choice on government contracts, mil-spec equipment repair, and any application requiring documented fastener standards. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order, and each package contains 1 unit.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 5/16-inch hex wrench, nut driver, or socket. Ensure mating screw threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not overtighten, as Grade A steel hardware has defined torque limits for 6-32 thread sizes that should be referenced from the applicable fastener specification. When used in electrical enclosures or panels, follow applicable NEC guidelines for hardware selection and installation.
