Metallics JRM15SLT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 4-40 x 3/8 in. machine screw work for mounting a device or plate in an electrical box?
The Metallics JRM15SLT is a 4-40 thread screw, 40 threads per inch, 3/8 inch long, with a round head and a slotted drive. That's the small machine screw size used for terminal screws, small device and plate mounting, and fixture hardware. Note the common electrical device and cover plate thread is 6-32, not 4-40, so check the female thread in your box or device before ordering: 4-40 will not engage a 6-32 tapped hole.
2) How are the Metallics JRM15SLT machine screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come in a jar, with a 100-count minimum order. That's the format for a shop drawer or a service van, not a bulk box.
3) Are zinc plated steel machine screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JRM15SLT is carbon steel with a zinc finish, made from AISI 1006 to 1022 steel. Zinc plating handles indoor and dry locations fine, but it is a sacrificial coating, not stainless, so in wet, washdown, coastal or corrosive settings it will eventually rust. Specify a stainless 4-40 machine screw for those openings.
4) How strong are these Metallics 4-40 screws, and will they snap if I torque them down?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi, with hardness of Rockwell B70 to B100, which is standard low carbon steel machine screw territory. At a 4-40 diameter the thread itself is the limit, not the grade, so these are for holding devices, covers and small hardware in place. Don't treat them as a structural or load bearing fastener.
5) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
Metallics lists the JRM15SLT as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with China as the country of origin. If your contract requires domestically manufactured fasteners rather than ARRA-style compliance, verify against your specific contract clause.
