Metallics JSS2412SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics JSS2412SS socket set screw, and what thread does it take?
It is a 10-24 x 1/2 inch socket set screw. The 10-24 designation means a #10 diameter body with 24 threads per inch, so it mates with a 10-24 tapped hole, and the screw length is 1/2 inch. Drive is internal socket (hex key), not a slotted or Phillips head.
2) Can I use a 10-24 x 1/2 inch socket set screw as a replacement in electrical connectors and lugs?
That is the normal use for it. These are stocked as electrical fasteners, and a 10-24 x 1/2 inch cup point socket set screw is a common clamping screw in small set-screw connectors, couplings, collars, and grounding hardware. Check the thread in your part first: if the tapped hole is 10-32 or 1/4-20 rather than 10-24, this screw will not start, and a 1/2 inch length can bottom out before it clamps in a shallow boss.
3) What does a cup point set screw do, and when should I use one instead of a flat or cone point?
A cup point has a hollowed, ring-shaped end that bites into the mating shaft or bus and holds against rotation, which is why it is the default for set screw clamping on electrical connectors and collars. The JSS2412SS is the cup point version. Use a flat point instead when you need to clamp a hardened or finished shaft you do not want marred, and a cone point when you want maximum holding in a shaft that has been spotted or drilled for it.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JSS2412SS?
Each jar holds 100 screws. The pack type is a jar, which is the shop-bin format Metallics uses for small fasteners, so it suits a service truck or an MRO crib where you are replacing lost set screws a few at a time rather than ordering per job.
5) Is the JSS2412SS set screw stainless steel, and will it hold up in a damp or outdoor enclosure?
Yes, the JSS2412SS is a stainless steel set screw, which is why electricians specify it over plated carbon steel for wet-location enclosures, exterior pull boxes, and corrosive or wash-down areas. Plated steel set screws are the ones that seize or rust solid in those spots and have to be drilled out later.
