Metallics TP424SRC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these one-way tamper resistant screws that can't be backed out?
Yes. The TP424SRC is a one-way tamper-resistant screw: the head drives in with a standard flat blade but the slot is ramped so the driver cams out when you try to reverse it. Use them where you want a fastener to stay put, like cover plates, panels, and fixtures in public or common areas. Plan on drilling or gripping the head to remove one, so don't use them anywhere you expect routine service access.
2) Will a 10-32 one-way screw fit a standard electrical device or switch plate?
Standard wall plate and device mounting screws in the US are 6-32, not 10-32, so a 10-32 screw will not thread into a typical switch or receptacle yoke. The TP424SRC suits 10-32 tapped holes, which is what you find on many enclosure covers, raceway fittings, grounding lugs, and panel hardware. Check the tapped hole before you order a box of 100.
3) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP424SRC?
Each box holds 100 pieces, all one size (10-32 x 1/2 inch). For a property manager or MRO buyer securing a run of plates or panels, that covers a lot of openings in one order, since most cover plates take two screws.
4) How thick a part can a 1/2 inch long 10-32 screw fasten?
With 1/2 inch of overall screw length under a round head, all of that half inch is available for the material you're clamping plus thread engagement in the tapped hole. In practice that means thin covers, plates, and brackets. If you're going through a thicker assembly or into a deep boss, step up to a longer 10-32 screw instead.
5) What is the Metallics part number to order for these one-way screws?
Order by Metallics part number TP424SRC. That number covers the 10-32 x 1/2 inch round head one-way tamper-resistant machine screw, packed 100 to a box and made in the USA.
