S-97042A149 6-32 x 3" Partially Threaded Studs

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Exceptional corrosion resistance from 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and outdoor applications
• High tensile strength of 70,000 psi provides reliable load-bearing capacity and resistance to mechanical failure under stress
• Precision Class 2A thread fit ensures smooth assembly and consistent engagement with mating components
• Coarse 6-32 UNC threading offers faster installation and reduced susceptibility to cross-threading compared to fine threads
• Partially threaded design allows for secure fastening while providing unthreaded sections for alignment or clearance purposes
• Right-hand thread direction follows standard industry conventions for straightforward installation with common tools
• Full regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards ensures environmental responsibility and global market acceptance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 18-8 stainless steel partially threaded stud delivers critical engineering advantages in demanding applications where corrosion resistance and mechanical reliability are paramount. The 6-32 UNC coarse thread configuration provides excellent vibration resistance and rapid assembly in production environments, while the Class 2A thread fit maintains precise tolerances for consistent performance. The partially threaded design offers versatility in machinery assembly, electronic enclosures, and structural frameworks where both threaded engagement and smooth shaft sections are required. The combination of 70,000 psi tensile strength and stainless steel composition ensures long-term performance in chemical processing equipment, marine hardware, and food processing machinery where exposure to moisture and corrosive elements would compromise ordinary fasteners.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This inch-measurement stud features a 0.138" shaft diameter with ±0.005" tolerance, 3" overall length, and 3/4" thread length with Class 2A external thread fit per UNC standards. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental responsibility and workplace safety. The right-hand coarse thread spacing follows established industrial standards for compatibility with common 6-32 UNC threaded components.
