Metallics JSRM34 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 4-40 x 1/4 in. machine screw thread into a standard device or switch plate tapped hole?
The Metallics JSRM34 is a 4-40 thread, 40 threads per inch, with a 1/4 inch length. That is the small machine screw thread used on instrument panels, terminal blocks and small enclosure hardware, not the 6-32 used on standard wiring device mounting and wall plates. If your plate or device tap is 6-32, this screw will not engage it.
2) Do these Metallics machine screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public job?
Metallics flags the JSRM34 as compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, with country of origin China. If your contract language is strict domestic-melt, confirm the specific clause against that origin before submitting.
3) Are these stainless screws okay for outdoor or damp electrical boxes?
18-8 stainless is the material, which handles damp and outdoor general-purpose service without rusting the way plated steel does. Avoid continuous salt spray or chloride exposure, where 316 is the better choice.
4) Can I use the published tensile strength to spec these for a load-bearing connection?
Not as a design value. Metallics lists 80,000 psi minimum and Rockwell B85-B95 hardness, but notes outright that tensile figures for stainless screws are approximations because there is no single performance standard for stainless machine screws. Treat them as general-purpose fasteners, not structural ones.
5) Are the thread dimensions on these screws inch or metric standard?
Inch. The 4-40 designation is a Unified inch thread built to SAE material standard, so it mates with inch-tapped holes and a 4-40 tap, not with any M3 metric hardware.
6) How are these 4-40 stainless screws packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar, 100 count, and 100 is the order minimum. The jar weighs about 0.17 lbs.
7) I need a different length in 4-40 stainless. Is that an option?
Yes. The JSRM34 is the 1/4 inch length in the Metallics SRM machine screw series, and other sizes and quantities are available by request.
