3/8-24 x 2 18-8 Stainless Steel Low Head Socket Cap Screw helps solve clearance problems in machine assemblies where a conventional socket head projects too far above the surface.
Compared with carbon steel fasteners, 18-8 stainless steel is often selected for cleaner appearance and resistance to normal atmospheric exposure.
Cold Headers serves machine builders, repair operations, and industrial distributors that need exact-size socket screws without exaggerated inventory claims.
The low head geometry gives this 3/8-24 x 2 fastener a reduced profile for compact equipment housings and panel assemblies, where internal wrenching keeps the drive feature inside the head when external wrench clearance is limited. It may also be specified for electrical enclosures and control panels, where the low head design helps keep hardware projection controlled on exposed or space-limited surfaces.
Use the verified dimensions below to compare nominal body diameter, head diameter, head height, hex socket size, and key engagement against the available space in the assembly.
Reference dimensions may vary slightly by manufacturer.
