S-92196A634 3/8"-16 x 2 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 environments and reducing maintenance frequency.
• Superior load-bearing capability from a high 70,000 psi tensile strength, ensuring reliable performance under significant stress.
• Enhanced thread engagement and stripping resistance provided by the precise Class 3A thread fit, minimizing the risk of assembly failures.
• Optimized for high-torque applications with a 5/16" hex drive and standard socket head, allowing for secure installation in confined spaces.
• Robust wear resistance and durability due to Rockwell B70 hardness, extending the screw's service life in demanding conditions.
• Reliable fastening in coarse-thread applications using 3/8"-16 UNC threads, which are less prone to cross-threading and quicker to assemble.
• Compliance with major industry and environmental standards including ASME B18.3, RoHS 3, and REACH, ensuring safety and regulatory acceptance.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw is engineered to address critical challenges in industrial settings, such as vibration loosening and corrosion-induced failure. The partially threaded design and coarse UNC threads provide excellent grip in softer materials and high-vibration environments, reducing the need for frequent retightening. Its high tensile strength and Rockwell B70 hardness ensure it withstands heavy loads and abrasive conditions, making it ideal for machinery, automotive assemblies, and construction equipment. The hex drive socket head allows for efficient installation with standard tools, even in tight spaces, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime. By incorporating ASME B18.3 standards and environmental compliance, this fastener delivers reliable performance while meeting stringent industry requirements.
