Value Collection R88448644 6-32 X 3/8 Button Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R88448644 is a 6-32 x 3/8 inch button head machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The button head profile offers a low-profile clamping surface, while the Pin-In Torx drive resists cam-out under torque and provides tamper-resistance in service environments. The 6-32 thread designation follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards. Length is measured under the head. This fastener is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels where corrosion resistance and a clean head profile are required. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, electricians, and equipment assemblers.

This screw is used in a wide range of light industrial, commercial, and residential applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. Typical installations include control panel assembly, enclosure fabrication, electronic chassis mounting, and general equipment maintenance. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive or outdoor-exposed environments. The UNC thread form is compatible with standard 6-32 tapped holes and threaded inserts commonly found in HVAC control boards, electrical panels, and similar assemblies. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces.

Key Features

• Button head profile provides low-profile clamping with a smooth, rounded appearance
• Pin-In Torx drive resists cam-out and offers tamper-resistance compared to standard Torx or Phillips drives
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in mild environments
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to flake or interfere with electrical grounding contact
• 6-32 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with widely available tapped holes and inserts
• Length measured under head — 3/8 inch grip length for thin-panel and chassis applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for any assembly using 6-32 UNC tapped holes, threaded inserts, or standard 6-32 nuts. Suitable for use in HVAC control enclosures, electrical panels, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a button head machine screw in the 6-32 size.

Installation Notes

A Pin-In Torx bit of the appropriate size is required for installation and removal — standard Torx bits without the center pin will not engage the drive recess. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before installing or removing fasteners inside live panels, following NEC guidelines. Use appropriate thread engagement depth to avoid stripping 6-32 tapped holes, particularly in thin aluminum or plastic panel stock. Do not overtighten — stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven without lubrication or excessive force in tapped stainless holes.
