• 5/32" hex drive socket head allows for high-torque installation in confined spaces.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 10-32 UNF socket head cap screw is engineered to solve critical fastening challenges in industrial applications where vibration loosening and fluid leakage are common failures. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides inherent corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance in moist or chemical-exposed settings. Combined with the nylon patch thread locker, it effectively prevents self-loosening under dynamic loads, while the Buna-N rubber O-ring ensures a reliable seal against oils, water, and gases up to 1500 psi. Its fine thread design and Class 3A fit deliver precise alignment and clamping force in machinery, automotive, and pneumatic systems, enhancing assembly integrity and operational safety.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This socket head cap screw features a 10-32 UNF fine thread with Class 3A tolerance for high precision. It is manufactured in compliance with ASME B18.3 specifications and meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental standards, ensuring safety and regulatory adherence for global industrial use.
