Metallics JPMP23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do these screws meet a recognized dimensional standard so they interchange with what is already in my boxes?
Yes. The JPMP23 is made to ASME B18.6.3-2010, the standard for inch-series machine screws, so the thread and head geometry interchange with any other 6-32 pan head built to that spec. That is what lets you mix brands across a facility without sorting.
2) Are these Metallics screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JPMP23 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic-content requirement, these will not satisfy it.
3) What size Phillips driver fits these Metallics machine screws?
A #2 Phillips. The recess on the JPMP23 measures 0.159 inch in diameter with a gaging depth of 0.055 to 0.080 inch, so a #2 bit seats fully. Using a #1 will cam out and chew the recess.
4) How much clearance does the pan head take up, and will it sit flush in a countersunk hole?
No, a pan head sits on top of the surface. The JPMP23 head measures 0.256 to 0.270 inch across and 0.087 to 0.097 inch high, so plan on roughly a tenth of an inch of head standing proud. For a flush finish in a chamfered hole you need a flat head machine screw, not a pan head.
5) Are these zinc plated steel screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JPMP23 is AISI 1006 to 1022 carbon steel with a zinc finish, which is a dry-location plating. It holds up fine inside panels, boxes and interior device work. For wet locations, exterior enclosures or coastal air, go to a stainless 6-32 machine screw instead, since zinc plating on steel will eventually white-rust and then red-rust.
6) How strong is a 6-32 steel zinc machine screw, and can I torque it down hard?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi, with hardness in the Rockwell B70 to B100 range. That is standard low-carbon machine screw strength, fine for clamping device plates, covers, brackets and panel components. It is not a structural fastener, and at 6-32 the thread is small enough that over-torquing will strip a tapped sheet metal hole before the screw fails.
7) What is the difference between a machine screw like this and a sheet metal or self-tapping screw?
A machine screw such as the JPMP23 has a uniform 32 TPI machine thread and a blunt end, so it needs a pre-tapped hole or a nut. It will not cut its own thread. If you are driving into unthreaded sheet steel, use a self-tapping or sheet metal screw. If the hole is already tapped 6-32, as device boxes, straps and enclosure flanges typically are, this is the correct screw.
8) How do these machine screws ship, and what is the minimum I can buy?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum for the JPMP23. Good shelf item for a service van or an MRO crib since the jar keeps them sorted.
