Metallics JTMPF33 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JTMPF33 truss head screw?
The JTMPF33 is a 10-32 x 1/2 inch truss head Phillips machine screw, Type F thread cutting. The 10-32 call out means a #10 diameter with 32 threads per inch, so it mates with any 10-32 tapped hole or nut, and the 1/2 inch length is measured under the truss head.
2) What does Type F mean on a 10-32 machine screw, and do I need to tap the hole first?
Type F is a thread cutting point, so the JTMPF33 cuts its own 10-32 thread in a drilled or punched hole in sheet metal or an enclosure wall. You still need a correctly sized pilot hole, but no separate tapping step. It also runs into an already tapped 10-32 hole like a standard machine screw.
3) Why use a truss head screw instead of a pan head in an electrical box?
A truss head is wider and lower in profile than a pan head, so it spreads the clamp load over a bigger area on thin sheet metal and sits flatter inside the box. That matters when you are mounting a device, ground strap or cover on a punched hole and do not want the fastener head crowding conductors.
4) How many screws come in the Metallics JTMPF33 package?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is meant for a service van or MRO shelf where you are pulling a handful at a time rather than opening a bulk box.
5) What part number do I order for the Metallics 10-32 truss head Type F screw?
Order Metallics JTMPF33. That single manufacturer part number covers the 10-32 x 1/2 truss head Phillips Type F screw in the 100 count jar; there are no finish or length options to specify.
6) What driver do I need for the JTMPF33 screws?
A Phillips driver. The JTMPF33 has a Phillips truss head, so a #2 Phillips bit is the normal fit for a #10 screw. Run it slow on a drill or impact driver since the Type F point is cutting thread as it goes.
