Value Collection R56000560 Hex Socket Cap Screw 4-40 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000560 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement are required. Built from 316 stainless steel, this screw features a 4-40 UNC thread size and a 5/32-inch hex drive. The 0.5-inch length under head provides consistent clamping depth for light-duty assemblies. The 316 alloy grade offers superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to standard 304 stainless, making it a preferred choice for marine, chemical, and food-service adjacent installations.

This screw is suited for use in precision mechanical assemblies, instrumentation panels, electronic enclosures, and light structural connections where a fine thread and socket drive are specified. The 4-40 UNC thread pattern is a common standard in small-diameter fastener applications across HVAC controls, electrical panel components, and general trade equipment. Installation is performed with a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance in aggressive environments
• 4-40 UNC thread size for fine-pitch, small-diameter fastening
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for positive torque engagement
• 0.5-inch length under head for consistent clamping in shallow assemblies
• Socket cap head profile provides a low-profile, high-strength seating surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 4-40 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring this thread size and drive configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or matching Allen driver. Ensure the receiving thread is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Avoid cross-threading by starting the screw by hand until thread engagement is confirmed. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical assembly codes when fastening into control panels or instrumentation housings.
