6-32 x 5/8 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
- 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
- Socket head with Hex Drive

Metallics JSHC658 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 x 5/8 in. socket head cap screw thread into a standard 6-32 tapped hole or nut?
Yes. The Metallics JSHC658 is a 6-32 UN thread, 32 threads per inch, so it mates with any standard 6-32 tapped hole, nut, or insert. Thread length is the full 5/8 in. nominal screw length.
2) What size hex key drives the JSHC658 socket head cap screw?
It is internally wrenched with a hex key, not a wrench on the outside of the head. For a 6-32 socket head cap screw that is a 7/64 in. hex key, which is the standard drive size at this diameter under ASME B18.3.
3) Is an alloy steel socket head cap screw stronger than a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex bolt?
Yes. The alloy steel socket head cap screw is rated at 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, higher than equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws, and it does it in a smaller head footprint because the drive is internal. Hardness is Rockwell C39.
4) Are Metallics JSHC658 cap screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. They are not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant. Country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project carries domestic sourcing requirements, these will not satisfy them.
5) Is the black finish on these alloy steel cap screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The finish is a black alloy steel finish with no corrosion-resistant plating, so it belongs in dry interior work such as panel, enclosure, and equipment assembly. For damp or exterior use, specify a zinc plated or stainless socket head cap screw instead.
6) How are Metallics 6-32 socket head cap screws packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100. Order minimum is one jar, so 100 pieces is the smallest quantity. Jar weight is 0.38 lbs.
7) Do these screws meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec work?
Yes, head and socket dimensions conform to ASME B18.3-2012, the standard for socket cap screws, so they interchange dimensionally with any other B18.3 6-32 socket head cap screw on a drawing callout.
8) What trades normally use these 6-32 alloy socket head cap screws?
They are stocked for the electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning trades, typically for fastening into tapped holes in panels, enclosures, equipment housings, and support hardware where a high strength screw is needed in a small counterbore.
9) Are these screws tested for tensile and yield strength at the 5/8 in. length?
Full tensile, yield, elongation, and reduction of area testing applies to cap screws of length 3D or greater, where D is the nominal diameter. For a 6-32 screw the nominal diameter is 0.138 in., so 5/8 in. is well past 3D and the screw falls in the tested range. Elongation is 10 percent minimum and reduction of area 33 percent minimum on machined specimens.
