S-92196A242 10-24 x 1/2" ASME B18.3 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Exceptional corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments
• High tensile strength of 70,000 psi ensures reliable performance under heavy mechanical loads
• Precise Class 3A thread fit provides superior engagement and vibration resistance in critical assemblies
• Standard hex socket drive allows for high-torque installation with common 5/32" hex tools
• Fully threaded design offers maximum grip length and uniform clamping force distribution
• Rockwell B70 hardness maintains thread integrity and prevents stripping during repeated use
• Coarse UNC threading enables quick assembly and reduced cross-threading risks in production environments

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel socket head cap screws deliver critical performance advantages in demanding applications where corrosion resistance and mechanical reliability are paramount. The 10-24 UNC coarse thread configuration combined with Class 3A precision fit ensures secure fastening in machinery, automotive components, and industrial equipment subjected to vibration and dynamic loads. The hex socket drive system provides superior torque transmission compared to standard screw heads, preventing cam-out and enabling precise tension control in confined spaces. Engineered to withstand corrosive environments while maintaining 70,000 psi tensile strength, these fasteners solve common failure points in manufacturing, metal fabrication, and outdoor equipment where standard fasteners would deteriorate prematurely.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to exacting ASME B18.3 specifications with Class 3A thread tolerances for precision fit. Features 10-24 UNC coarse threads with right-hand orientation and standard socket head profile. Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across global industrial markets. The 5/16" head diameter and 0.19" head height provide optimal bearing surface while maintaining compact dimensions for space-constrained applications.
