Help my senior memory.

I'd call them "Brass Finish Hex Head Furniture Connector Bolts"

If it has a female thread, then it's a socket joint connector barrel nut.

Kindalike 'T(eethed)-nuts' but sans teeth, and with a hex socket at the exposed end.

Lee Valley Tools calls them "1/4-20 Quick-Connect Large-Head Bolts"

Sometimes, they're "connecting bolts" or "connecting screws":

But I think they are more properly called "wafer head hex drive connecting [bolts|screws]".

A manufacturer of them calls them "Furniture Connector Bolts – Type E1".

And variations on "Furniture Connector Woodscrews"

- Furniture Connector Woodscrews
- Furniture Connector Woodscrews with Shoulder
- Mushroom Head Furniture Connector Woodscrews
- Mushroom Head Furniture Connector Woodscrews with Shoulder

So many names for the same thing.

And depending on your use case, the screws, at least, also come in thin shank versions, which have a shank the same diameter as the root of the screw, so you just need to drill a pilot hole for them. No need to drill a clearance hold the diameter of the shank.
