APC HC0383 Flat Head Phillips Screw #8-32 X 1.00″ 18-8 SS

The APC HC0383 Flat Head Phillips Screw #8-32 x 1.00″ (1 inch) in 18-8 Stainless Steel is a highly dependable fastening solution designed for applications requiring a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and precision. Engineered with durability in mind, this screw serves as an essential component in numerous industrial, commercial, and residential assemblies. Its high-quality 18-8 stainless steel composition provides long-lasting protection against rust, oxidation, and environmental wear, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use—even in moisture-rich or chemically exposed environments.

This screw features a flat head profile, allowing installers to create smooth, flush surfaces once the screw is fully embedded. This characteristic makes it particularly valuable in projects that require clean aesthetics or unobstructed surfaces—such as cabinetry, furniture fabrication, metalworking installations, mechanical enclosures, and electrical box assemblies. The flat head design also ensures compatibility with countersinking operations, giving users the ability to create fully recessed installations that improve the appearance and safety of finished assemblies.

A major highlight of the APC HC0383 is its Phillips drive system, which offers a widely recognized balance between torque application, installation control, and tool compatibility. Phillips drives are specifically engineered to prevent cam-out under excessive torque, enhancing installation efficiency while reducing the likelihood of stripping the screw head. The design naturally centers screwdriver tips, making it simpler for users—whether they are professional technicians or DIY hobbyists—to achieve fast, accurate, and reliable fastening even in tight spaces or overhead applications. This reduces user fatigue and makes the APC HC0383 an excellent choice for repetitive installation tasks.

The #8-32 machine screw thread is one of the most common and versatile thread sizes in mechanical fastening. It features 32 threads per inch (TPI), offering a fine pitch that provides strong thread engagement and superior holding power in metal, hardwood, and plastic substrates when used with a tapped hole or compatible nut. This fine threading also ensures consistent alignment, reduced vibration loosening, and dependable mechanical stability.

The 1.00-inch length of the screw accommodates a wide range of fastening requirements, providing adequate reach for secure joining of components without excessive protrusion. Whether fastening two metal plates, attaching hardware to frame supports, or securing components inside electrical housings, this length is versatile enough to meet everyday installation needs while maintaining structural integrity. The balanced proportions of this screw make it efficient for applications that require both strength and space-conscious fastening.
