Value Collection R82232349 Socket Cap Screw 2-56 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232349 is a 2-56 socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where a low-profile, high-strength connection is required. It features a socket cap head driven by a 5/64 inch hex key and measures 1/4 inch in length under the head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion and maintains dimensional integrity in both indoor and light outdoor environments. It is suited for mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, and equipment enclosures where small-diameter threaded fasteners are standard. Licensed tradespeople and precision assembly technicians are the primary installers.

This screw is used in light mechanical, electronic, and instrumentation assemblies that require a 2-56 thread pitch. The compact size makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations found in control panels, enclosure hardware, and precision equipment frames. The minimum order quantity is 10 pieces per order. The stainless steel construction makes this fastener a practical choice for environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed without the cost of exotic alloys.

Key Features

• 2-56 thread size for fine-pitch, small-diameter fastening applications
• 1/4 inch length under head for shallow-depth through or tapped-hole installations
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moderate environments
• Hex socket drive accepts a 5/64 inch hex key for precise torque application in confined spaces
• Bright uncoated finish maintains clean appearance and consistent thread fit
• Conforms to fastener standard 16995-2d

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 socket cap screw suitable for tapped holes and through-hole assemblies requiring this thread size and a 1/4 inch under-head length in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 5/64 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling, which is a common risk with stainless steel fasteners. Do not over-torque, as stainless steel fasteners at this diameter are susceptible to thread stripping and head rounding. Power down any electrical equipment before installing fasteners in or near energized enclosures.
