Metallics JSSMSS66 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and style of set screw is the Metallics JSSMSS66?
It's an M6 x 12 mm socket set screw with a cup point, in black steel. The socket drive means it's turned with a hex key rather than a screwdriver, and the cup point bites into the shaft or part it clamps against.
2) Is the M6 x 12 cup point set screw metric or imperial thread?
Metric. M6 x 12 means a 6 mm nominal metric thread and a 12 mm length, so it will not thread into an imperial tapped hole such as 1/4-20. If the equipment you are working on is imperial, you need an inch-series set screw instead.
3) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JSSMSS66?
100 pieces per jar. The jar pack is the standard way these M6 x 12 cup point set screws ship, which suits a service van or shop bin rather than a single-use job.
4) What is a cup point set screw used for in electrical work?
Cup point is the general purpose point for clamping. The ring edge of the cup digs slightly into the mating surface and resists loosening under vibration, which is why these M6 x 12 socket set screws get used on collars, couplings, lugs and equipment mounts. If you need to avoid marring the part, a flat or nylon-tipped screw is the better choice.
5) Do I need a hex key for the Metallics JSSMSS66 set screw, and does it have a head?
It's a socket set screw, so it's headless with an internal hex socket and seats flush or below the surface of the collar or boss. You'll need a metric hex key, not a driver bit, and the screw does not clamp anything by a head, it clamps with the cup point at the end.
6) Is the black finish on these M6 set screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
These are black steel, an oxide type finish typical of alloy socket set screws, which is a dry-location finish and offers little corrosion protection on its own. For damp, exterior or washdown areas, specify a stainless set screw of the same M6 x 12 size.
