Metallics JBSC141 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBSC141 button head cap screw take, and will it fit a standard 1/4-20 tapped hole?
It's a 1/4-20 UN thread, 20 threads per inch, cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1. So it threads into any standard 1/4-20 tapped hole or nut. Overall screw length is 1 inch.
2) How much will a button head cap screw stick up above the surface?
Head height is 0.122 to 0.132 inch, so roughly an eighth of an inch of proud head. That's the point of a button head over a standard socket cap: low profile and a rounded crown where you can't accept a tall head or a sharp edge, and no countersinking needed.
3) Can I use the Metallics JBSC141 in a structural or high-strength connection?
No. Button head socket screws are not recommended for critical, high-strength applications; the shallow head limits how much you can torque them. For a load-bearing joint use a standard socket head cap screw or a graded hex bolt instead. The JBSC141 is for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC assembly work, enclosures, brackets, covers, and trim.
4) Do these button head cap screws meet a dimensional spec I can put on a submittal?
Head and socket dimensions follow ASME B18.3-2012 for socket cap screws, and threads follow ANSI/ASME B1.1. Note that these are not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin, which matters if you're buying for a federally funded project.
5) What size hex key drives these 1/4-20 socket button head screws?
They take a hex (Allen) key, not a screwdriver, and the head is a low-profile button socket. Head width runs 0.419 to 0.437 inch with a socket depth of 0.087 inch, so a short-arm or ball-end key works in tight spots. Confirm the key size against the screw in hand before you buy a driver set for the job.
6) What is the tensile rating and hardness on these alloy steel black button head screws?
Minimum tensile is 4,430 lb with a hardness of Rockwell C39-44. Screws must be at least 3 diameters long to be subject to tensile testing, and this one at 1 inch of length on a 1/4 inch diameter clears that.
7) Is the black finish on these screws a corrosion coating, or are they bare?
The material is alloy steel with a black finish, and the screws are supplied plain, meaning no added plating or lubricant. Treat the black oxide look as cosmetic rather than a corrosion barrier. Outdoors or in a damp pit, go with stainless or a zinc-plated fastener.
8) Does the Metallics JBSC141 ship loose or in a set quantity?
These come in a jar, 100 screws, with a 100-piece order minimum. If you need a different length, diameter, or pack size in the same BSC button head line, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
9) What's the difference between a button head socket screw and a flat head socket screw for the same 1/4-20 hole?
Both use a hex key and the same 1/4-20 thread, but the button head sits on top of the surface with about 0.122 to 0.132 inch of head above it and needs only a through hole. A flat head requires a countersunk hole and finishes flush. If the panel is thin or already drilled straight through, the button head is the one that works.
