Metallics JFM17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the flat head on the JFM17 sit flush, and what countersink does it need?
It is a flat head, which seats flush in a countersunk hole rather than standing proud. Head width runs 0.238 to 0.262 in. and head height 0.069 to 0.083 in., so the countersink needs to clear roughly a quarter inch across. Head geometry follows ASME B18.6.3-1998.
2) What driver fits these Metallics 6-32 flat head screws?
They take a slotted (flat blade) driver. The slot is 0.039 to 0.048 in. wide and 0.024 to 0.038 in. deep, so a small cabinet-tip screwdriver with a blade thin enough to bottom in the slot drives them without camming out. There is no Phillips recess on this one.
3) How many 6-32 x 3/8 flat head screws come in a jar of JFM17?
They ship 100 to a jar, and the jar is the order minimum. The packed jar weighs 0.21 lbs. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
4) Are these zinc machine screws steel or stainless, and will they hold up in a damp location?
Carbon steel with a zinc finish, made from AISI 1006 to 1022 steel. Zinc plating gives indoor corrosion protection and nothing more, so for wet, exterior, or washdown locations choose a stainless fastener instead. The yellow zinc screws in this family are common in electronics work.
5) Do the Metallics JFM17 screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
No. The JFM17 6-32 flat head screws are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For federally funded work with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced fastener.
6) Is 3/8 inch long enough, or should I order a longer 6-32 screw?
A 3/8 in. 6-32 gives you only about a quarter inch of thread past a flush-seated flat head, so it works for thin plates and standard device mounting into a tapped ear. If you are stacking spacers, a mud ring, or a thicker cover, step up to a longer 6-32 from the FM and FMP series rather than pulling the head into the hole to make it reach.
