5/16-24 x 3 1/2 Alloy Steel Button Head Socket Cap Screw provides a button-head geometry for assemblies that need a finished appearance and internal hex drive engagement. The alloy steel construction is selected for production equipment where a lower-profile head is preferred on exposed fastening points.
Engineers may use it on equipment housings and assembly fixtures where the button head presents a clean bearing surface on visible hardware. This geometry also fits 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.
For drawings using the 5/16-24 thread and 3 1/2 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 fit checks, tool access planning, and replacement verification.
Reference dimensions may vary slightly by manufacturer.
