Metallics JSS818SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the JSS818SS a cup point or a flat point set screw?
Cup point. The cup point bites into the surface it clamps against, which is what you want for holding a conductor or a shaft so it does not back out under vibration. If your application needs a non-marring or flush-bearing contact, a cup point is the wrong geometry.
2) What material are these Metallics 8-32 set screws made of, and can they be used outdoors?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the common austenitic grade with roughly 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel. That gives good corrosion resistance for damp, outdoor, and washdown locations, and it is non-magnetic in the annealed condition. For heavy chloride or marine exposure, 316 stainless is the step up.
3) Will a 1/8 inch long set screw be long enough for my lug?
At 1/8 inch, the JSS818SS is a short screw, intended for shallow tapped holes where the screw only needs to clamp at the surface. If your boss or lug body is deeper and the screw bottoms out before it clamps, step up to a longer 8-32 set screw in the same cup point style.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JSS818SS?
Each jar holds 100 screws, packaged in a jar rather than a bag or box, which is the format most electricians keep on the truck for loose small fasteners.
5) What driver do I need for these 8-32 socket set screws?
They take a hex key (Allen wrench) in the socket, not a screwdriver blade. There is no external head to grip, so the screw seats flush or below the surface of the tapped hole once driven.
