5/8-11 x 2 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - 50qty
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
- 5/8-11 Diameter, 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 JSHC582 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 5/8-11 socket head cap screw thread into a standard 5/8 inch tapped hole?
Yes, as long as the hole is tapped coarse. The Metallics JSHC582 is a 5/8-11 UN thread, 11 threads per inch, which is the standard coarse pitch for 5/8 inch. It will not start in a 5/8-18 fine-thread hole. Usable length is 2 inches, so subtract your material thickness plus washer to confirm thread engagement in the tapped member.
2) Is a socket head cap screw stronger than a Grade 8 hex bolt in the same size?
In tensile terms, yes. The alloy steel socket head cap screw is rated 170,000 psi minimum tensile and 153,000 psi minimum yield, above what equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws deliver, and because it is internally wrenched with a hex key it needs less surface area or counterbore clearance than an externally wrenched hex head. That is the usual reason to spec a socket head in a tight pocket or against a shoulder.
3) Will these screws qualify on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
No. The Metallics JSHC582 socket head cap screw is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. For a project carrying domestic-sourcing clauses you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) Is the black finish on these alloy steel cap screws corrosion resistant for outdoor use?
Treat it as an indoor or protected-application fastener. The JSHC582 is plain alloy steel with a black finish, which is an oxide-type appearance finish rather than a plated or galvanized coating, so it offers little protection against weather or washdown. For exposed outdoor mounting, use a zinc-plated or stainless fastener instead, accepting the lower strength that comes with stainless.
5) How many 5/8-11 x 2 in. socket head cap screws come in a jar, and can I buy just one?
These ship as a jar with a 50 piece minimum, sold by the each, so the smallest order is 50 screws. Other sizes and quantities are available by request if 50 of this size is more than the job needs.
6) What hardness are Metallics alloy steel socket head cap screws, and can I tap or drill them?
They run Rockwell C37, a through-hardened alloy steel condition. That is too hard to drill, tap, or cut cleanly with standard HSS tooling, and it is also why you should not weld or heat them: heat input ruins the temper and with it the 170,000 psi tensile rating. Cut to length or modify at your own risk.
7) Is this a cap screw for electrical and mechanical equipment mounting?
Yes. The SHC series socket head cap screw is carried for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, typical uses being equipment and motor mounting, panel and enclosure hardware, and bracket connections where a high strength internally wrenched fastener is needed in a confined space.
