Metallics JPMP117BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JPMP117BR machine screw?
It's a 4-40 x 3/8 inch machine screw, meaning a #4 diameter with 40 threads per inch and a 3/8 inch length under the head. The 4-40 thread is a unified machine screw thread, so it mates with a 4-40 tapped hole or nut, not a self-tapping or sheet metal application.
2) Will a 4-40 x 3/8 brass screw work for mounting a switch or receptacle to a device box?
No. Standard device mounting ears and box screw holes in North America are tapped 6-32, not 4-40, so a #4 screw will spin loose in the hole. The JPMP117BR is for 4-40 tapped holes, such as smaller instrument, terminal and panel hardware. For device-to-box mounting, order a 6-32 machine screw.
3) Is the JPMP117BR screw a Phillips pan head or a slotted head?
Phillips drive, pan head. The PN PH in the description is pan head, Phillips. Pan head gives a broad, low-profile bearing surface, which is what you want for mounting plates, device covers and small brackets where a countersunk seat isn't prepped.
4) How does the Metallics JPMP117BR screw come packaged, and how many are in it?
100 screws in a jar. Metallics packs these in jar quantities rather than loose bulk boxes, which is handy for a service van or a shop bench where you want the count contained.
5) Can I get the same 4-40 brass pan head screw in a different length or finish?
The JPMP117BR is the single configuration here: 4-40 x 3/8, brass, pan head Phillips, jar of 100. There is one model number, so length and material are fixed. If your application needs more reach or a steel fastener, you'd move to a different Metallics machine screw part number.
