3/8-16 x 1 1/4 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. For maximum bite instead of surface protection, the related cup point alloy set screw family is the better comparison. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.
For tipped set screws and related tipped cap screws, Cold Headers' Chicago operation handles the soft-face installation work. A nylon insert acts on the thread; a nylon or brass tip acts on the mating surface, so the two product families should not be substituted blindly.
