For assemblies that call for a brass set screw by exact size, 5/16-24 x 3/8 Brass Cup Point Socket Set Screw identifies the required material, cup point geometry, thread, and length.
It is commonly used in instrumentation, enclosures, and equipment panels, where a nonferrous set screw is specified for the hardware callout. The internal hex drive allows socket-wrench access from the threaded hole, which is useful when surrounding components leave little room for external wrenching.
Review the 5/16-24 thread, 3/8 in. length, socket size, cup point diameter, mating surface, and material requirements before specifying the item. Confirm that point contact, brass material, and service conditions fit the application. Brass is often selected for nonferrous construction, electrical conductivity, general corrosion resistance, and distinctive appearance. The point geometry gives the installer a defined end form for localized holding contact rather than a general-purpose threaded plug. Cold Headers works with distributors, maintenance teams, and production buyers that need clear size identification for specialty brass socket products.
