Metallics JFSC658 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 x 5/8 black flat head screw thread into a standard steel electrical box or device strap?
Yes. Steel outlet boxes, device straps, and switch and receptacle yokes are tapped 6-32, which is exactly what the JFSC658 is threaded. The 5/8 inch length is longer than the screws shipped with most devices, which is what you want when a plaster ring or multiple gang layers eat up thread engagement.
2) Is the JFSC658 a Phillips head screw or a socket cap?
It is a slotted flat head machine screw, called out as SHCS FH in the Metallics description. Flat head means it seats flush in a countersunk hole, so it will not stand proud of a finished plate or panel surface.
3) What finish is on the Metallics 6-32 x 5/8 flat head screw, and can I use it outdoors?
The finish is black on steel (St-Blk). Black oxide style finishes on steel are intended for dry interior use. For wet locations or exterior work, specify a plated or stainless 6-32 screw instead.
4) How many screws come in the Metallics JFSC658 and how are they packaged?
You get 100 screws in a jar. The jar pack is what MRO stockrooms and service vans use, since it reseals and keeps the count on the shelf rather than loose in a drawer.
5) Is the JFSC658 a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
It is a machine screw with a uniform 6-32 machine thread, so it needs a pre-tapped hole or a nut. It will not cut its own thread in sheet metal. If you are fastening into untapped sheet steel, use a self-drilling or sheet metal screw instead.
6) What part number do I order for the Metallics black 6-32 flat head screw jar?
Order Metallics JFSC658. That is the manufacturer part number for the 6-32 x 5/8 slotted flat head steel black screw in the 100 count jar.
