Metallics JSS52412SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JSS52412SS socket set screw?
It's a 5/16-24 x 1/2 inch socket set screw with a cup point. The 24 threads per inch makes it the fine-thread version of 5/16, so it will not thread into a part tapped 5/16-18 coarse. Check the tapped hole in your lug, collar, or connector before ordering.
2) Can I use a 5/16-24 x 1/2 socket set screw as a replacement in electrical lugs and connectors?
That's the application it's stocked for. The JSS52412SS is carried as an electrical fastener, and replacement set screws in this size are what get used when the original screw in a mechanical lug, split bolt, or grounding connector is stripped or lost. Match the thread to the tapped hole, 5/16-24 fine rather than 5/16-18 coarse, and confirm the 1/2 inch length gives you enough reach onto the conductor without bottoming out.
3) How many screws come in a jar of the Metallics JSS52412SS?
Each jar holds 100 pieces of the 5/16-24 x 1/2 cup point socket set screw. The jar pack is the usual way these move for service trucks and MRO cribs, since set screws get consumed in small counts across many jobs.
4) What does a cup point set screw do differently than a flat or cone point?
A cup point bites into the mating surface and leaves a small ring-shaped indentation, which is what gives it holding power on a shaft or conductor without needing a pre-drilled seat. Flat points are used where you don't want to mar the part and are intended for frequent removal; cone points dig deepest into a spotted hole for a permanent set. The JSS52412SS is the cup point version in 5/16-24 x 1/2.
5) Is the JSS52412SS set screw driven with a hex key or a screwdriver?
Hex key. It's a socket set screw, so the drive is an internal hex recess in the end of the screw, not a slot or Phillips head. The body threads in flush or below the surface of the collar or lug, which is why there's no external head to grab with a wrench.
