Metallics JBSC10322 10-32 x 2 in. Socket Button Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - Each

Yes. It is a 10-32 machine thread, 32 threads per inch, UN thread form made to ANSI/ASME B1.1, so it mates with any standard 10-32 tapped hole, nut, or channel nut. Overall screw length is 2 in., so subtract your material thickness to confirm you get enough thread engagement at the far side.

No, not without protection. The JBSC10322 screws are alloy steel with a black finish and are supplied plain, meaning no corrosion-resistant plating. Keep them to dry interior work, enclosures, and panel assembly. For wet or exterior locations choose a stainless or hot-dip galvanized fastener instead.

No. Metallics states these screws are not recommended for critical, high-strength applications. They are hardened to Rockwell C39-44 with a 2440 lb minimum tensile, which is fine for equipment mounting, panel and enclosure work, and general MRO assembly, but if your drawing calls out a graded structural fastener or a specific proof load, specify a cap screw rated to that spec instead.

A button head does not sit flush. The JBSC10322 has a low, rounded socket head about 0.091 to 0.101 in. tall sitting on top of the surface, with a bearing diameter of roughly 0.347 to 0.361 in. That low profile is why it gets used where clearance is tight, but if you need the head below the surface you need a flat head socket cap screw in a countersunk hole, not this one.

The JBSC10322 takes a hex (Allen) key, not a screwdriver. Head width runs 0.347 to 0.361 in. and head height 0.091 to 0.101 in., with a socket depth of 0.07 in., so you need a key fully seated in that shallow socket to avoid stripping it. Button heads have less socket depth than standard socket caps, so keep the key square in the hole.

They ship in a jar of 100, which is also the order minimum. Pack weight is 0.81 lbs. If you need a different length or a larger count, Metallics offers other sizes and quantities by request.

The JBSC10322 is flagged ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the manufacturer data, with country of origin China. If your contract language requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the ARRA compliance flag, verify against your specific contract clause before submitting.

Head and body dimensions follow ASME B18.3-2012, the standard for socket cap screws, and the threads follow ANSI/ASME B1.1. That matters if you are matching head clearance in an existing counterbore or submitting a fastener schedule, since any B18.3 button head of the same 10-32 size will interchange dimensionally.
