12-28 x 3 1/2 Alloy Steel Button Head Socket Cap Screw supports compact fastening in assemblies where a cylindrical socket head would project farther from the surface. The alloy steel construction fits equipment assemblies where a compact rounded head profile and internal hex drive are specified.
Designers often specify it for automation equipment and conveyor assemblies where the compact head profile helps protect nearby moving components. It can also serve equipment housings and assembly fixtures when the button head presents a clean bearing surface on visible hardware. Engineers often choose this style when a standard socket head cap screw would stand taller than the assembly layout allows.
For purchasing or maintenance records calling out 12-28 thread and 3 1/2 in. length, the reference head diameter is 0.383-0.413 in. and the head height is 0.104-0.117 in. The nominal body diameter and hex-key information below give engineers and buyers a quick check on fit, socket access, and replacement selection.
Reference dimensions may vary slightly by manufacturer.
