3/8-16 x 1 1/2 is a nylon tip alloy steel socket set screw built for set-screw fastening where a soft contact face is preferred over a hardened point.
Typical uses include polished shaft collars, small hubs, and replacement collars on finished round stock. The internal socket drive keeps installation compact and leaves no external head projecting from the assembly. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
Cold Headers is a useful source when the drawing calls for a less common tipped set screw length or fine-thread alloy body. When the need is a self-locking thread element, compare Alloy Set Screws with Nylon Insert instead of a surface-protecting tip screw.
