8-36 x 2 1/4 Alloy Steel Button Head Socket Cap Screw gives equipment builders a rounded button-head form for visible or frequently handled fastening points. The alloy steel construction fits fixture construction where a broader bearing surface and socket-drive access are part of the design.
This configuration is practical for machine covers and service panels where the finished head appearance is useful on exposed equipment. It also works in control enclosures and equipment housings when the rounded head reduces sharp edges on handled surfaces. The button-head form is specified when the fastener head remains visible or accessible and a smooth rounded profile is preferred.
When matching the 8-36 thread and 2 1/4 in. length, the reference head diameter is 0.298-0.312 in. and the head height is 0.077-0.087 in. The nominal body diameter and hex-key information below help confirm fit, tool clearance, and replacement requirements.
Reference dimensions may vary slightly by manufacturer.
