Metallics JSS611SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these 6-32 set screws stainless steel, and will they hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
They're 18-8 stainless, the common austenitic grade used for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor locations. That's the reason electricians and maintenance crews pick these over plain steel set screws for exterior fixtures, damp-location enclosures, and wash-down areas.
2) Why a cup point set screw instead of a flat or cone point?
The cup point on the JSS611SS bites into the surface of a shaft, rod, or pin and resists backing out, which is what you want for a permanent or semi-permanent grip. Flat points are for clamping against a hardened or pre-ground flat without marring it, and cone points are for a drilled or spotted seat in the mating part. If the shaft you're clamping must stay unmarked, a cup point is the wrong choice.
3) How many screws come in the Metallics JSS611SS jar?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is the usual MRO and service-truck format for small fasteners like this, so one order stocks a van or a shop bin rather than covering a single fixture.
4) What is the manufacturer part number for the Metallics 6-32 x 3/16 stainless cup point set screw?
Metallics part number JSS611SS. Order by that MPN to get the 6-32 x 3/16, 18-8 stainless cup point socket set screw in the 100-count jar; the adjacent Metallics JSS numbers are the same screw in other lengths and diameters.
5) Is a 3/16 inch long set screw long enough for my application?
At 3/16 inch overall it's a short screw, sized to seat flush or below the surface in a thin boss or a shallow tapped hole, roughly three thread diameters of engagement on a 6-32. If your boss wall is thicker than that, or the screw has to reach across a clearance gap to touch the shaft, you need a longer 6-32 set screw instead.
6) Can I use these stainless set screws on electrical lugs and fixture mounts?
That's the intended use. Metallics catalogues the JSS611SS as electrical supply hardware, and a 6-32 cup point socket set screw in 18-8 stainless is the size used to lock small set screw collars, fixture canopies, conduit and rod couplings, and knobs. For current-carrying terminations, match the screw the terminal was listed with rather than substituting.
