Value Collection R40663442 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40663442 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a recessed drive and a clean, low-profile head. This screw features an 8-32 UNC thread and a 3/8-inch length under head, making it suited to light-duty mechanical assemblies, panels, and enclosures. The 9/64-inch hex drive requires a standard hex key or Allen wrench for installation and removal. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in mildly wet or humid environments. Maintenance technicians, electricians, and mechanical assemblers working on equipment enclosures and control panels are the typical end users for this fastener type.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance is needed and a recessed hex drive is specified. Common installation scenarios include securing control board mounting brackets, panel components, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical sub-assemblies. The 8-32 UNC thread is one of the most widely encountered machine screw thread sizes in trade and OEM equipment work. This item is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard machine screw tapped holes
• 3/8-inch length under head provides secure engagement in thin panel and bracket applications
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and ball-end drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in humid environments
• Low-profile socket cap head seats flush to surrounding surfaces when fully driven

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw replacement or general-purpose fastener for use wherever an 8-32 hex socket cap screw with a 3/8-inch length under head is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when installing into stainless steel tapped holes. Power down any electrical equipment before accessing internal fasteners on control panels or enclosures.
