Button Socket Cap Screws

Button Socket Cap Screws

Button socket cap screws are favored not only for their practicality but also for their aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for use when the screw head is visible outside the assembly. Additionally, they are selected when clearance is restricted, and a socket drive is necessary. However, it’s important to note that due to their sleek design, button sockets may not handle as much stress as socket head cap screws, as their heads are comparatively smaller.
