These are Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS), a type of threaded fastener characterized by a cylindrical head with an internal hexagonal (Allen) drive socket. The designation "10-32 X 5/8"" provides specific information about the screw's dimensions and thread type:
10-32: This indicates the thread size. "10" refers to the nominal diameter of the screw (approximately 0.190 inches), and "32" indicates the number of threads per inch. This is a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread.
5/8": This specifies the length of the screw's shank, measured from the underside of the head to the tip of the screw, which is 5/8 of an inch (0.625 inches).
(ST. STEEL): This denotes the material of which the screws are manufactured: Stainless Steel. Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, making these screws suitable for applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or other corrosive elements is a concern. The specific grade of stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316) is not specified in this description but would influence the exact level of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Socket Head Cap Screws are known for their high strength capabilities and their ability to be tightened with a hex key (Allen wrench) in confined spaces where a standard wrench or screwdriver might not fit. The internal hex drive also provides a good bearing surface for the tightening tool, allowing for high torque application without damaging the screw head.
