Value Collection R40662414 Hex Socket Cap Screw 2-56 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40662414 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a compact, high-strength connection. Threaded 2-56 UNC, this screw features a 5/64 inch internal hex drive and a 3/16 inch length under head. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for demanding service environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these screws in instrumentation, electronics enclosures, light mechanical assemblies, and any application where a low-profile socket drive is required in tight clearances.

This screw is suited for use in residential and commercial applications wherever a 2-56 UNC thread form is specified. Typical installations include precision instrument panels, control enclosures, small-bore mechanical assemblies, and electronic hardware mounting. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosives. These screws are supplied individually and are available in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, making them practical for production runs and service stock.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application specifying a 2-56 UNC thread, 3/16 inch length under head, and 5/64 inch hex drive with 18-8 stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized 5/64 inch hex key or socket driver to avoid rounding the drive recess. Confirm thread engagement depth and mating thread condition before installation. Do not overtighten in thin or soft base materials, as the fine 2-56 thread form is susceptible to stripping under excessive torque. Handle stainless steel fasteners carefully to avoid galling during installation.
