4-40 x 2 Brass Button Head Socket Cap Screw supports low-load assemblies that need a rounded button head along with electrical conductivity and non-magnetic material behavior. This head style is a practical choice where the fastener should remain accessible while presenting a compact rounded profile. Because brass is non-ferrous, it can be useful in selected electrical, instrument, and laboratory applications where magnetic response is undesirable.

Appropriate uses include instrumentation and precision equipment, where the finished button head keeps visible fastening points smooth while the material machines cleanly. It can also fit machine covers and automation equipment, where internal hex drive access supports installation where side clearance for external tooling is limited. The internal hex drive supports socket-key installation in compact equipment without relying on an external wrenching surface.

For the 4-40 thread and 2 in. length, the reference head diameter is 0.201-0.213 in. and the head height is 0.051-0.059 in. Use the verified dimensions below when checking head projection, socket access, and replacement fit.
