Value Collection R82232609 Socket Cap Screw 4-40 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232609 is a 4-40 socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where a low-profile, high-strength connection is required. Machined from 18-8 stainless steel, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance in a compact form. It features a socket cap head driven by a 3/32 inch hex key, making it well suited for confined spaces where a standard screwdriver or wrench cannot reach. At 1/2 inch length under head with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener is a standard choice for instrumentation, light mechanical assemblies, and equipment panels installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors.

This socket cap screw is used in residential and commercial settings where small-diameter, fine-thread fasteners are needed. Common applications include securing control boards, panel components, light mechanical brackets, and precision assemblies. The 4-40 thread size is a fine-thread inch series standard widely used in instrumentation and light-duty mechanical work. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with mild moisture exposure or where ferrous fasteners are unsuitable.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• 4-40 thread size for fine-thread, small-diameter fastening applications
• 1/2 inch length under head for standard depth fastening in light assemblies
• Hex socket drive accepts a 3/32 inch hex key for torque in tight clearances
• Bright, uncoated finish meets fastener standard 16995-11d
• Lightweight at 0.002 pounds per piece, suitable for weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 4-40 socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-series fine-thread fastener with a hex socket drive in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as small-diameter screws in this thread class are susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening control or electrical enclosure components.
