This 8-36 x 1/2 Alloy Steel Button Head Socket Cap Screw with Nylon Insert is intended for cataloged inch-size applications where a button head and nylon insert are both specified. Where the application permits reuse, the nylon insert can provide a reusable locking feature that should still be evaluated against the actual service conditions.
A low-profile button head can be helpful around covers, panels, and compact machine envelopes where an external wrenching surface would be undesirable. The 8-36 x 1/2 size is often reviewed for machinery panels, instrument housings, and space-constrained assemblies when a bill of materials specifies an alloy steel locking button head socket screw. Selection should account for joint geometry, thread engagement, installation access, head clearance, and the desired level of prevailing torque.
Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and supports exact-size sourcing for difficult-to-find socket products. For adjacent selections, buyers often compare standard button head socket screws, flat head socket cap screws, and nearby lengths when checking head style, material, locking feature, thread size, or nearby lengths.
