Value Collection R40662444 Hex Socket Cap Screw 2-56

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40662444 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical assemblies. Threaded to 2-56 UNC specification, this screw features a 5/64-inch internal hex drive and a 3/8-inch length under the head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it provides solid corrosion resistance in environments where moisture or mild chemicals may be present. The socket cap head style allows for installation in tight or recessed spaces where a wrench or screwdriver cannot reach. Typical installers include machine technicians, instrumentation specialists, and precision assembly tradespeople working on small-bore components.

This fastener is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation panels, electronics enclosures, and precision equipment requiring a fine-thread, small-diameter screw. The 2-56 UNC thread is a standard sizing in low-load structural and machine assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel grade is widely used in applications where general corrosion resistance is required without the need for higher-alloy grades. This screw is sold individually and is ordered in minimum quantities of 100 units.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread for fine-pitch precision fastening
• 5/64-inch hex drive accepts standard ball-end or straight hex keys
• 3/8-inch length under head fits shallow to mid-depth clearances
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in general-service environments
• Socket cap head allows installation in recessed or space-restricted locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in precision mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and light-duty machine applications requiring a small-diameter stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 5/64-inch hex key or ball-end driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not over-torque small-diameter stainless fasteners, as 18-8 stainless is susceptible to galling under excessive rotational force. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound if galling is a concern in the application.
