10-24 x 1/2 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - 100qty
Features
- Elongation is 10% minimum (applies to machined specimens of lenglh at least 4D where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw) and Reduction of Area is 33% minimum (applies to machined specimens)
- Supplies greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade-5 or Grade-8 hex head cap screws while requiring less surface area or counterbore since the fastener is intenally wrenched.
- Socket head with Hex Drive
- 10-24 Diameter, 1/2" Length
- Alloy Steel Black Material
Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request | Cap screws of a length 3D or greater, where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw, are subject to tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction of area testing.

Metallics JSHC1012 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does an alloy steel socket head cap screw compare to a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex bolt the same size?
The JSHC1012 is rated 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, higher than a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screw of the same size. It also needs less surface area or counterbore clearance because it's wrenched internally through the hex socket rather than across flats. Hardness is Rockwell C39.
2) Are these black alloy steel screws okay outdoors or in a wet location?
No. The JSHC1012 is plain alloy steel with a black finish, not a plated or stainless fastener, so it has no real corrosion protection. Keep it to dry indoor service, panels, enclosures and equipment mounting. For damp, exterior or washdown work use a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead.
3) Can I use these on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
No. The JSHC1012 is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin shown as multiple. If your contract carries domestic-sourcing language, you'll need a documented domestic fastener instead.
4) What hex key driver does a 10-24 socket head cap screw take?
Hex drive, internally wrenched. A 10-24 socket head cap screw built to ASME B18.3 takes a 5/32 inch hex key. Because the wrenching is inside the head, you can run these in tight pockets where there's no room to swing a wrench on a hex bolt head.
5) How are these Metallics cap screws packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 is the order minimum, one jar. The jar runs 0.82 lbs. Handy for shops that keep a bin of 10-24 hardware on the truck rather than counting out loose screws.
6) Will a 1/2 inch long screw be long enough to develop full strength in the threads?
At 1/2 inch under the head on a #10 screw, length is well past 3 diameters, which is the point at which cap screws are subject to tensile, yield, elongation and reduction of area testing. Elongation is 10 percent minimum and reduction of area 33 percent minimum on machined specimens. Practically, allow enough thread engagement in the tapped part, roughly one diameter in steel, and keep the grip stack under 1/2 inch total.
7) What trades actually use these 10-24 socket head cap screws?
They're stocked for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, the Metallics SHC series. Typical use is machine and equipment mounting, panel and enclosure hardware, and anywhere a 10-24 tapped hole needs a high strength screw with a head that can sit in a counterbore.
