Metallics JFMB60 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JFMB60 machine screw?
The JFMB60 is a 2-56 x 3/8 inch machine screw, so it's a #2 diameter with 56 threads per inch and a 3/8 inch length. That's a small-diameter fine-thread fastener, the kind used for device plates, small enclosure parts, and light fixture components rather than structural work.
2) Will a 2-56 machine screw thread into a tapped hole for a #2 self-tapping or coarse screw?
No. 2-56 is a fine thread, and a hole tapped for a coarse #2 pitch or formed by a sheet metal screw won't accept it. The JFMB60 is a machine screw meant for a hole tapped 2-56 or for use with a matching 2-56 nut. Match the thread pitch, not just the #2 diameter.
3) What head style and driver does the Metallics 2-56 x 3/8 brass machine screw use?
Flat head, slotted drive. The flat head seats flush in a countersunk hole, so you need a countersink in the part if you want the screw face level with the surface. Slotted means a straight-blade driver, not Phillips.
4) Is the Metallics JFMB60 screw brass or plated steel?
Brass. The JFMB60 is a solid brass machine screw, which is why it gets specified where corrosion resistance or non-magnetic material matters, and where the screw head is visible on brass-finish plates and fixtures.
5) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JFMB60?
100 screws per jar. It ships as a jar pack, which is how electricians and maintenance shops usually buy small machine screws for the truck or the bench, rather than loose counts.
