Metallics JFSC838 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the JFSC838 a flat head or a pan head screw, and what drive does it take?
Flat head, with a socket (hex key) drive. The JFSC838 is described as a SHCS FH, so it's a flat head socket cap screw and you drive it with an Allen wrench, not a Phillips or slotted driver. The flat head sits flush when it's run into a countersunk hole, which is why it gets used where a protruding head would interfere.
2) Will an 8-32 x 3/8 screw thread into a standard electrical box or device plate?
Yes on thread, with a caution on length. 8-32 is the standard thread for device mounting ears, cover plates, and box screws, so the JFSC838 will thread into that prep. At 3/8 inch it's short, which suits fastening a plate or a cover directly against the box, but if you're mounting a device out through a plaster ring or a spacer you'll need a longer 8-32 instead.
3) What material and finish is the Metallics 8-32 x 3/8 socket flat head screw?
Steel with a black finish, shown as St-Blk in the Metallics description. Black oxide or black-coated steel screws are a dry interior finish, so for damp or exterior locations you want a plated or stainless fastener instead of this one.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JFSC838?
100 pieces per jar. The Metallics 8-32 x 3/8 flat head socket screw is packaged in a jar, which is the shop-bench pack Metallics uses for loose fasteners, so one order gets you a hundred screws rather than a single piece.
5) What is the part number to order the Metallics black steel 8-32 x 3/8 socket flat head screw?
Order it as Metallics JFSC838. That single part number covers the 8-32 x 3/8 steel black flat head socket cap screw in the 100-piece jar, so there are no further options to specify on size, finish, or pack.
