3/8-16 x 1 3/4 316 Stainless Steel Button Head Socket Cap Screw is used when the fastener head remains visible and the surrounding equipment benefits from 316 stainless steel construction. The button-head design gives engineers a compact rounded profile, a broad bearing surface, and internal hex drive access, while the 316 stainless steel material is selected where additional corrosion resistance is needed compared with general-purpose stainless grades.

Typical applications include processing equipment and control panels, where the broad head can spread contact on covers or brackets while keeping socket access available. It can also serve processing equipment and control panels, where the broad head can spread contact on covers or brackets while keeping socket access available. Because the drive is internal, installers can tighten the fastener without side clearance for an external wrench.

For the 3/8-16 thread and 1 3/4 in. length, the reference head diameter is 0.636-0.656 in. and the head height is 0.185-0.199 in. These values help buyers and maintenance teams confirm the correct thread, length, drive size, and head geometry.
