Value Collection R82232630 6-32 Socket Cap Screw Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232630 is a 6-32 socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in light-duty mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and instrumentation applications. Made from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this screw offers reliable corrosion resistance without surface treatments that can alter dimensional tolerances. The hex socket drive accepts a 7/64 inch hex key for installation in confined spaces where a standard screwdriver cannot reach. At 3/8 inch length under head, this fastener suits thin panel and shallow boss applications. Installation follows ASME B18.3 and fastener standard 16995-17d. Electricians, mechanical technicians, and equipment fabricators commonly use this screw in panel assembly and fixture mounting work.

This socket cap screw is suited for use in electronic enclosures, instrument panels, HVAC control board mounting, and general light mechanical assembly. The 6-32 thread size is a standard machine screw thread widely used in low-load fastening applications across residential and commercial equipment. The compact 3/8 inch length under head makes it appropriate for thin-material stack-ups and shallow tapped holes. The stainless steel construction holds up in environments where mild moisture or chemical exposure is present.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 machine screw replacement suitable for use in any tapped or threaded insert application calling for a 6-32 socket cap screw with 3/8 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

A 7/64 inch hex key or T-handle driver is required for installation. Ensure the mating tapped hole or threaded insert is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten in thin aluminum or plastic bosses, as the fine 6-32 thread is susceptible to stripping under excess torque. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant code requirements for the installation context.
