Metallics JSHC612SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JSHC612SS 6-32 socket head cap screw take, and will it run into a standard 6-32 tapped hole?
It's a 6-32 UNC thread, 32 threads per inch, so it mates with any standard 6-32 tapped hole or 6-32 nut, including the tapped holes in device boxes, mounting plates and enclosure ears. Length is 1/2 inch under the head, so your total grip plus thread engagement has to fit within that.
2) Does the Metallics JSHC612SS meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a government or institutional job?
Yes on both counts for this cap screw: it is listed as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a public-works or federally funded spec usually asks for on fasteners. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
3) What size hex key drives these 6-32 stainless socket head cap screws?
Hex drive, not a slot or Phillips. Socket head with a hex internal drive, and the socket depth is 0.064 inch, so you need a short-reach Allen key or bit fully seated to avoid rounding the socket out. Head is small: 0.218 to 0.226 inch across and 0.134 to 0.138 inch tall.
4) Is 18-8 stainless the right pick for outdoor or damp-location electrical work?
18-8 stainless is the austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance, so it holds up in wet and outdoor enclosures far better than plain or zinc-plated steel. It also keeps its mechanical and performance capability above ambient temperature, which matters inside hot gear and luminaire housings. For heavy chloride exposure (coastal, pool chemistry, de-icing salt) a 316 fastener is the step up.
5) How strong is a 6-32 18-8 stainless socket head cap screw?
Rated at 80,000 psi minimum tensile and 30,000 psi minimum yield, with hardness at Rockwell B80. That is the standard stainless cap screw class, noticeably softer and lower strength than an alloy-steel black socket head cap screw, so don't substitute it where a drawing calls for a high-strength alloy socket screw. Elongation is 10% minimum and reduction of area 33% minimum on machined specimens.
6) How are these 6-32 stainless socket cap screws packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so you are buying by the jar rather than by the individual screw. Jar weight is 0.32 lbs. Other diameters, lengths and quantities in the SHC socket head cap screw series can be requested.
7) Does this screw conform to a published dimensional standard I can put on a submittal?
It is built to ASME B18.3-2012, the dimensional standard for socket head cap screws, so head diameter, head height and hex socket all fall within the published tolerances for a #6 size. That is the reference to cite on a submittal, paired with the 18-8 stainless material call-out.
8) What is the manufacturer part number for the 6-32 x 1/2 inch stainless socket head cap screw from Metallics?
Part number JSHC612SS, from the Metallics SHC socket head cap screw series. The number breaks down as 6-32 diameter, 1/2 inch length, SS for the 18-8 stainless material.
