Value Collection SHN-1032-500-AS Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SHN-1032-500-AS is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly applications. Sized at 10-32 UNF with a 0.5 inch length under head, this screw accepts a hex drive and is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in exposed assemblies. Licensed mechanics, machinists, electricians, and HVAC technicians commonly use this fastener when assembling panels, brackets, and equipment enclosures that require a low-profile, flush-seated cap screw.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever a 10-32 UNF threaded fastener is specified. It is commonly used in control panel assembly, motor mounting, electrical enclosures, and light-duty structural bracketing. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the full 0.5 inch length under head, making it a reliable choice in thin-material and through-bolt configurations.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread size for compatibility with standard unified fine-thread tapped holes
• 0.5 inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum engagement
• Alloy steel construction for tensile strength in demanding fastening applications
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance appearance
• Hex socket drive accepts standard hex key or Allen wrench tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a fully threaded alloy steel cap screw with a hex drive in this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex key or Allen wrench sized to the socket drive. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling. Do not over-torque alloy steel fasteners in aluminum or soft-material tapped holes. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer specifications and relevant trade codes when using fasteners in electrical or mechanical enclosures.
