Metallics JHWT231212 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and head style is the Metallics JHWT231212 screw?
It's a 12-24 x 1/2 inch hex washer head screw, unslotted, in a Type 23 thread. The 12-24 machine thread with a Type 23 thread-cutting point is what lets it tap its own threads in sheet metal and enclosure housings without a separate tapping step. Order code JHWT231212.
2) Will a 12-24 screw thread into a 10-32 hole?
No. 12-24 and 10-32 are different diameters and pitches, and the two get mixed up constantly on panel and rack work. The JHWT231212 is 12-24 only. If your existing holes take 10-32, you need a 10-32 fastener, not this one.
3) Do I need a screwdriver or a driver bit for a hex washer head unslotted screw?
A hex socket or nut driver, not a screwdriver. The JHWT231212 is unslotted, so there is no Phillips or slotted recess to drive, and the washer face under the hex head spreads the clamp load so it seats on sheet metal or a panel without a separate washer.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JHWT231212?
100 screws per jar. Metallics packages this one in jar form, which is the format electricians tend to keep on the van or in a bench bin rather than a bulk box.
5) Is a 1/2 inch long screw long enough for mounting to a panel?
At 1/2 inch of length, the JHWT231212 is sized for thin-gauge steel: an enclosure wall, a mounting bracket, a cover or a strut fitting. Stacked material or anything needing deeper engagement calls for a longer 12-24 screw instead.
