3/8-16 x 3/4 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - 100qty
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.
Features
- 3/8-16 Diameter, 3/4" Length
- Socket head with Hex Drive
- 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.
- Alloy Steel Black Material

Metallics JSHC3834 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JSHC3834 socket head cap screw stronger than a Grade 8 hex bolt?
The JSHC3834 is an alloy steel socket head cap screw rated at 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, with a hardness of Rockwell C39. Metallics states socket head cap screws supply greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws, and because they are internally wrenched they need less surface area or counterbore clearance around the head.
2) What thread does the JSHC3834 cap screw have, and will it go into a 3/8-16 tapped hole?
Yes. The screw is 3/8 inch diameter with 16 threads per inch in the Unified National (UN) series, which is standard 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread. It mates with any 3/8-16 tapped hole or nut. Thread length is set by the 3/4 inch overall screw length, so plan for shallow engagement in thick stock.
3) Does this Metallics cap screw meet ASME B18.3 for spec submittals?
Yes. The JSHC3834 is built to ASME B18.3-2012, the dimensional standard for socket head cap screws, so head dimensions, socket size and thread conform to that spec for submittal purposes.
4) Is this socket head cap screw sold individually or by the jar?
The 3/8-16 x 3/4 inch Metallics socket head cap screw ships in a jar with an order minimum of 100 pieces. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Is the black finish on these alloy cap screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The material is alloy steel with a black finish, which is a plain thermal-oxide type coating rather than a corrosion barrier like zinc or hot-dip galvanizing. For strut, panel and equipment mounting indoors it is fine. For damp, exterior or washdown locations, specify a plated or stainless fastener instead.
6) Is the Metallics JSHC3834 cap screw Buy American or ARRA compliant?
No. It is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On federally funded or domestic-preference jobs you will need a domestically sourced fastener instead.
7) Can I use these socket head cap screws on electrical and mechanical equipment mounting?
That is the intended use. Metallics lists the field application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning industries, and the internally wrenched socket head lets you torque it in tight spaces where a wrench will not swing, such as inside enclosures or against a wall.
