Value Collection R40662469 Hex Socket Cap Screw 2-56 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40662469 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a compact drive profile and corrosion-resistant construction. Threaded to 2-56 UNC specification, this screw accepts a 5/64 inch hex drive and measures 5/8 inch under the head. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides solid resistance to oxidation and mild corrosion in both indoor and outdoor environments. Technicians and assemblers working with small-format mechanical assemblies rely on this thread size for securing lightweight components where space and torque tolerances are tight.

This screw is suited for use in precision mechanical assemblies, instrumentation panels, electrical enclosures, and small equipment housings where fine-thread engagement and stainless construction are required. The 2-56 UNC thread is a standard fastener size commonly found in miniature hardware applications across HVAC controls, electrical components, and light-duty mechanical assemblies. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for shop stock, service kits, or production line use.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread for fine-pitch engagement in miniature assemblies
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive for use with standard ball-end or straight hex keys
• 5/8 inch length under head for consistent fastening depth
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists oxidation and mild corrosion
• Compact head profile suitable for tight clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any assembly requiring a 2-56 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 5/8 inch length under head in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/64 inch hex key or ball-end driver appropriate to the socket depth and access angle. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading in fine-pitch 2-56 UNC tapped holes. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the 2-56 thread; over-torquing small-diameter screws can strip threads or fracture the fastener. No special certifications or trade licensing are required for installation of standard mechanical fasteners.
