Value Collection SCIX0-20056-100BX Hex Socket Cap Screw 2-56 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCIX0-20056-100BX is a hex socket cap screw sized at 2-56 UNC with a 5/64 inch hex drive and a 9/16 inch length under head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance suitable for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, and precision equipment. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the entire usable length. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers reach for this size when securing small components in confined spaces where a hex key is the only practical drive option.

This fastener is commonly used in low-clearance panel assemblies, electronic enclosures, instrumentation housings, and light mechanical fixtures where a flush or low-profile cap head is required. The 2-56 UNC thread is a fine-pitch standard used widely in precision and miniature applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor environments and applications where mild corrosion resistance is needed without the cost of exotic alloys. Sold as a box of 100 pieces per minimum order quantity.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread size for precision and miniature fastening applications
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys in tight spaces
• 9/16 inch length under head with full thread engagement along entire shank
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without surface coating
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances for close-fit assemblies
• Sold in a 100-piece minimum order quantity for production and service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring that thread size, a 5/64 inch hex drive, and a 9/16 inch length under head in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/64 inch hex key or ball-end driver; do not substitute an approximate size as rounding out the socket in stainless steel fasteners is difficult to reverse. Tighten by hand to seat the thread before applying final torque, and avoid cross-threading in tapped holes, which is more common with fine-pitch miniature fasteners. For assemblies subject to vibration, consult applicable mechanical codes or engineering specifications for appropriate locking methods such as thread-locking compound or prevailing-torque inserts.
