Metallics JBSC82 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How do I drive a socket button head cap screw like the JBSC82, and what size wrench do I need?
It takes a hex key (Allen) in the socket recess, not a screwdriver. The recess depth is 0.052 in. There is no slot or Phillips, so a nut driver or bit screwdriver will not turn it. Head width runs 0.298 to 0.312 in. and head height 0.077 to 0.087 in., which is why the low button profile sits close to flush on a panel.
2) Can I use these black alloy steel button head screws for a structural or high-strength connection?
No. Metallics states these button head socket screws are not recommended for critical, high-strength applications. Tensile strength is 1940 lb minimum on the 8-32 x 2 in. size and hardness is Rockwell C39-44. Use them for panel, cover, bracket and enclosure work. For a load-bearing joint, specify a socket head cap screw rated for that duty instead.
3) Is the black finish on these Metallics cap screws a corrosion-resistant coating?
No. The screws are supplied plain, and the black is the alloy steel oxide finish, not a plating or protective coating. Keep them to dry, indoor locations. For damp or wet locations pick a plated or stainless fastener in the same 8-32 thread.
4) Are the JBSC82 screws sold individually or by the jar, and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar, with a minimum of 100 count. The jar weighs 0.72 lbs. Metallics will do other sizes and lengths in the BSC button head series by request.
5) Do these button head socket screws meet a recognized dimensional standard for government or institutional specs?
Head and body dimensions are to ASME B18.3-2012 and threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1, so they interchange with any other B18.3 button head socket screw of the same 8-32 x 2 in. size. Metallics lists the part as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant; country of origin is China, which matters if your spec requires domestic melt and manufacture.
6) Why pick a button head rather than a standard socket head cap screw for enclosure and cover work?
Button head puts a wide, low dome on the surface: 0.298 to 0.312 in. across and only 0.077 to 0.087 in. tall on this 8-32. That spreads bearing on sheet metal and plastic covers and keeps the head from snagging, where a standard socket head stands taller and bears on a smaller circle. The trade is strength, and Metallics specifically does not recommend the button head for critical high-strength joints.
