Metallics JTM80LP 6-32 x 1/2 in. Truss Head Combo Receptacle Screws - Steel Zinc - Each

Yes. 6-32 is the standard machine screw thread used for device mounting in North American outlet boxes, switch and receptacle yokes, and cover plates, so the Metallics JTM80LP at 6-32 x 1/2 inch drops into that prep without tapping or adapters. The 1/2 inch length is the common replacement length for mounting a receptacle or switch to the box ears.

Either a #2 Phillips or a flat slotted bit will drive them. The head is a combo (slotted plus Phillips) truss head, so an electrician working out of a pouch with only a flat screwdriver or only a Phillips is covered on both counts.

They are zinc plated steel, which handles indoor and dry or normally dry locations. Zinc plating is a corrosion inhibitor, not a stainless substitute, so for wet locations, coastal exposure, or washdown areas specify a stainless steel device screw instead.

Yes, the Metallics JTM80LP 6-32 truss head combo screws are made in the USA, which is what procurement groups with domestic sourcing requirements on their purchase orders need to see on the line item.

A truss head is wide and low profile, so it spreads bearing on the device yoke slot and sits flatter under a cover plate than a round or pan head of the same diameter. That matters when the plate seats tight to the device, which is the usual case on a flush-mounted receptacle or switch.

They ship in a jar, which is the format most electricians keep on the van or on a shop shelf for pulling a handful at a time. The part number for ordering is Metallics JTM80LP.
