Metallics JFM47 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 5-40 flat head screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, provided the hole is countersunk at 82 degrees for a #5 screw. The Metallics JFM47 is a flat head machine screw built to ASME B18.6.3-1998, with a head width of 0.215 to 0.237 in. and a head height of 0.062 to 0.075 in. That shallow head is what lets it finish flush or below the surface of a plate or device bracket, unlike a pan or round head.
2) Does the Metallics JFM47 thread into a standard 5-40 tapped hole?
It does. The JFM47 is a UNC machine screw at 40 threads per inch, made to ANSI/ASME B1.1, so it mates with any standard 5-40 tapped hole or 5-40 nut. Machine screws like this cut no threads of their own, so the hole has to be tapped or you need a nut behind it.
3) Will these screws meet a Buy American requirement on a government or federal job?
No. The JFM47 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If the contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this screw will not satisfy it.
4) Are these zinc machine screws okay for outdoor or wet locations?
Keep them dry. These are steel with a zinc finish, made from AISI 1006-1022 carbon steel, which is a mild indoor corrosion coating only. For damp, exterior, or washdown work, specify a stainless machine screw in the same 5-40 x 3/4 in. size instead.
5) How many screws come in a jar, and can I buy just a few?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. There is no loose or small-count break on the JFM47.
6) What driver do I need for these Metallics machine screws?
A flat blade. The drive is slotted, with a slot width of 0.035 to 0.043 in. and a depth of 0.022 to 0.034 in., so a small cabinet-tip screwdriver seats properly. A wide blade will ride out and chew the slot; a Phillips bit will not engage at all.
7) What trades actually use a 5-40 x 3/4 in. flat head screw?
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. The common uses are mounting small devices, covers, and brackets where the head has to sit flush. The zinc yellow finish version of these is also widely used in electronics assembly.
