6-32 x 1 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
- Socket head with Hex Drive
- 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.
- 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)
- 6-32 Diameter, 1" Length
- Alloy Steel Black Material

Metallics JSHC61 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JSHC61 socket head cap screw use, and will it thread into a 6-32 tapped hole?
It's a 6-32 UN thread, 32 threads per inch, 1 inch long. That threads straight into any standard 6-32 tapped hole or nut, which is the common size for device mounting and enclosure hardware.
2) Is a 6-32 socket head cap screw stronger than a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head screw?
Yes. The alloy steel JSHC61 is rated 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, which exceeds equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws. Hardness is Rockwell C39. That's why it gets specified where load matters but there isn't room for a larger hex head.
3) Does this Metallics cap screw qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
No. The JSHC61 is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin shown as multiple. On federally funded work with domestic sourcing requirements you'll need a domestically produced socket head cap screw instead.
4) How is the JSHC61 cap screw packaged and what is the minimum order?
It ships in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 is the order minimum. If you need a different length, diameter, or pack count in the SHC socket head line, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Will a black alloy steel socket head cap screw hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
Plan on indoor or protected use. The finish is a plain black alloy steel, not a plated or coated corrosion-resistant finish, so it is not the right choice for wet, washdown, or exterior exposure. For those locations specify a zinc-plated or stainless socket head cap screw instead.
6) What size hex key drives the Metallics 6-32 socket head cap screw?
It's a hex (Allen) drive socket head, not slotted or Torx, so you drive it with a hex key or hex bit. Socket depth is 0.064 in., so seat the key fully before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket on a fastener this hard.
7) Does the JSHC61 cap screw meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec submittals?
It is manufactured to ASME B18.3-2012, the dimensional standard for socket head cap screws. Quote that along with the 6-32 x 1 in. size and the alloy steel designation when a drawing or submittal calls out the fastener.
8) What trades actually use these 6-32 socket head cap screws?
Metallics lists the field application as electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Typical use is fastening panels, brackets, covers, and equipment where a compact high-strength screw fits a tapped hole and a hex key can reach it.
9) Do these 6-32 x 1 in. cap screws get tensile tested?
At 1 inch long on a 6-32 diameter the screw is well past 3D, and cap screws of 3D length or greater are subject to tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction of area testing. Elongation is 10 percent minimum and reduction of area 33 percent minimum on machined specimens.
