These rack-mounting screws are used for mounting equipment, shelves, and accessories onto IT racks with #10-32 holes on their mounting rails.

Mounting rails with round holes are common in relay racks, telco racks, wall-mount racks, patch-panel racks and communication-closets boxes and brackets. The mounting holes are typically pre-tapped (threaded).

The "10" refers to the drill size for a tapped (threaded) hole. #10-32 screw-type has 32 threads per inch, with an outside diameter of 0.19". #10-32 screw is smaller than a #12-24 screw.

Since the holes on the rack's mounting rails are typically pre-tapped – standard mounting screws typically work well with these rails. However, steel racks with pre-tapped rails may have their holes slightly clogged with paint (or powder-coat), making it more difficult to use standard mounting screws. Self-tapping screws typically overcome this hurdle for an easier installation.

Racks that are fitted with mounting holes that are not pre-tapped require the use of self-tapping screws.
