Value Collection R82232462 Socket Cap Screw 2-56

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232462 is a 2-56 socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in tight spaces where a standard hex or Phillips driver cannot reach. The socket cap head accepts a 5/64 inch hex key for installation and provides a low-profile, high-strength connection point. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in moderate-exposure environments. The screw measures 3/16 inches in length under head and meets Fastener Standard 16995-1d. It is well suited for instrument assembly, light mechanical assemblies, and small-component mounting applications.

This socket cap screw is used in applications requiring a small-diameter, fine-thread fastener with reliable holding strength. Typical uses include electronic enclosures, instrumentation panels, precision mechanical assemblies, and OEM equipment where 2-56 thread size is specified. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor industrial and light outdoor environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and OEM assemblers working with fine-thread fastener specifications will find this screw a direct fit for standard 2-56 threaded holes.

Key Features

• 2-56 thread size for fine-pitch, small-diameter fastening applications
• 3/16 inches length under head for shallow material engagement
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance
• Hex socket drive accepts a 5/64 inch hex key for precise torque application
• Bright uncoated finish meets Fastener Standard 16995-1d
• Socket cap head design suits confined or recessed installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fastener for any application specifying a 2-56 socket cap screw with a 3/16 inch length under head and hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/64 inch hex key or matching hex bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading the fine 2-56 thread. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip the small-diameter threads or damage the drive socket. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer specifications for torque requirements.
