Value Collection R63611445 Hex Socket Cap Screw 2-56 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63611445 is a hex socket cap screw sized for fine-thread 2-56 UNC applications. It features a 5/64 inch internal hex drive and a 7/16 inch length under head. The fastener is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for environments where moisture or mild chemicals are present. This screw is used in precision mechanical assemblies, light-duty electrical enclosures, instrumentation panels, and similar applications where a compact, high-strength threaded fastener is required. Installation is performed with a 5/64 inch hex key or ball-end driver.

This cap screw is suited for light-gauge metal assemblies requiring a low-profile socket head and reliable clamping force in a 2-56 UNC thread pitch. Typical applications include instrument housings, electronic enclosures, small machine components, and precision fixtures where space constraints make a hex socket drive preferable to a slotted or Phillips head. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and outdoor use in non-extreme corrosive environments.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread size for fine-pitch, light-duty fastening applications
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard ball-end hex keys and drivers
• 7/16 inch length under head for precise grip depth in thin-stock assemblies
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and moderate strength
• Socket cap head profile minimizes clearance requirements in tight assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to the 2-56 UNC thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/64 inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is properly tapped and free of debris before driving. Avoid over-torquing small-diameter screws, as 18-8 stainless fasteners in this size range are susceptible to galling and thread shear. Power off and de-energize any electrical enclosure or assembly before fastener installation or removal.
