Metallics JSS838 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Metallics JSS838 screw ship, loose or in a container?
It comes in a jar of 100 pieces. That is the standard pack for these small set screws, so a single order unit gives you a hundred screws rather than a strip or a bulk box.
2) What is the difference between a cup point set screw and a flat point for holding a shaft or conductor?
A cup point, like the JSS838 carries, has a hollow-ground ring that bites into the mating surface and resists loosening, which is why it is the common choice for clamping onto a shaft or a conductor. A flat point is used when you do not want to mar the part and relies on clamp force alone. Pick the cup point when holding power matters more than the surface.
3) What tool do I need to drive the Metallics JSS838 screw?
A hex key (Allen wrench). It is a socket set screw, so it has an internal hex recess and no external head to grip, which lets it seat fully below the surface of the collar or lug it threads into.
4) Will the JSS838 work as a replacement grounding or lug set screw in electrical work?
It is an electrical-trade fastener, stocked for electrical use, and will thread into any 8-32 tapped hole at 3/8 inch length. Match both the thread and the length to the part you are replacing; a longer screw will bottom out or protrude, and a shorter one will not reach.
5) Is the JSS838 set screw plated or bare steel?
Steel with a black finish. Black oxide style set screws are the usual choice indoors or in enclosures; for wet or outdoor locations a stainless or galvanized fastener is the better call.
6) How do I order the Metallics 8-32 x 3/8 cup point socket set screw by part number?
Order it as Metallics JSS838. There is one configuration, so there is no finish or length choice to specify, just the model and how many jars you need.
