5/16-18 x 3 1/4 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 works in maintenance applications where replacement hardware must match the specified button-head geometry.
Designers often specify it for equipment housings and assembly fixtures where the button head presents a clean bearing surface on visible hardware. It can also serve material-handling systems and commercial equipment when the lower rounded profile helps limit snag points. The button-head form is specified when the fastener head remains visible or accessible and a smooth rounded profile is preferred.
When checking fit for the 5/16-18 thread and 3 1/4 in. length, the reference head diameter is 0.527-0.547 in. and the head height is 0.152-0.166 in. The nominal body diameter and hex-key information below support counterbore planning, socket access, and replacement matching.
Reference dimensions may vary slightly by manufacturer.
