1/2-13 x 1/2 is part of Cold Headers' alloy tipped set screw range, pairing a socket-drive alloy body with a soft brass contact face.
Typical uses include lead screws, ball screws, racks, and adjustment stops that are reset during setup. That makes it useful when the set screw must bear on a finished or plated part and later be adjusted again. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.
Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and keeps this category focused on exact size, tip material, and application fit. When the need is a self-locking thread element, compare Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert instead of a surface-protecting tip screw.
