Value Collection R40662426 Hex Socket Cap Screw 2-56 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40662426 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in close-tolerance assemblies. It features a 2-56 UNC thread form and measures 5/16 inches in length under the head. Drive engagement is through a 5/64 inch internal hex socket, requiring an appropriately sized hex key or Allen driver. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and light structural applications. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and field service professionals working on small-format equipment.

This screw is suited for applications requiring a small-diameter, fine-thread fastener with a low-profile socket drive head. Typical use cases include panel assemblies, instrument enclosures, light-duty machinery, and electronic component mounting. The 2-56 UNC thread size is standard in small mechanical assemblies across industrial and commercial equipment. Sold individually by package quantity, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per purchase.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread for reliable engagement in small-diameter tapped holes
• 5/16 inch length under head for consistent depth in standard panel and bracket applications
• 5/64 inch internal hex drive for precise torque application with minimal tool clearance required
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or mildly corrosive environments
• Socket cap head style keeps fastener profile low and allows recessed installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to 2-56 UNC specifications in industrial, commercial, or mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/64 inch hex key or ball-end Allen driver. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Apply consistent, controlled torque to avoid stripping the socket or cross-threading the fine 2-56 UNC thread. Follow applicable fastener standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque requirements specific to the assembly.
