Value Collection R88448626 6-32 X 1/4 Button Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R88448626 is a 6-32 x 1/4 inch button head machine screw made from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It uses a Pin-In Torx drive and is threaded to Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards, with length measured under the head. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, and light mechanical fastening applications. This fastener is sized for close-clearance installations where a low-profile button head is required. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a small-diameter UNC machine screw is needed in corrosive or moisture-prone environments. Common install scenarios include securing control board brackets, junction box covers, equipment panels, and sheet metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical service work. The Pin-In Torx drive reduces cam-out risk compared to standard Phillips or slotted drives, making it well suited for power-tool installation in production or field-service settings.

Key Features

• Button head profile provides low clearance height and a wide bearing surface
• Pin-In Torx drive reduces cam-out and improves torque transfer
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip or flake in service
• UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• Length measured under the head for accurate stack-up calculations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC machine screw suitable for use in any application requiring a 6-32 tapped hole or nut, including equipment panels, electronic enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general mechanics, electricians, and HVAC technicians using a Pin-In Torx bit of the appropriate size. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures. Avoid over-torquing small-diameter screws into tapped sheet metal, as thread stripping is the primary failure mode at this fastener size. Confirm hole thread engagement depth is adequate before applying final torque.
