8-32 x 2 Brass Button Head Socket Cap Screw provides a brass socket-drive option for assemblies that need a broad bearing surface and a smoother head profile. 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 machine covers and automation equipment, where internal hex drive access supports installation where side clearance for external tooling is limited. It can also fit instrumentation and precision equipment, where the finished button head keeps visible fastening points smooth while the material machines cleanly. The internal hex drive supports socket-key installation in compact equipment without relying on an external wrenching surface.

For the 8-32 thread and 2 in. length, the reference head diameter is 0.298-0.312 in. and the head height is 0.077-0.087 in. Use the verified dimensions below when checking head projection, socket access, and replacement fit.
