3/8-16 x 5/16 combines an alloy steel socket set screw body with a brass tip for applications where the contact surface matters as much as the thread and length.
Typical uses include maintenance repairs, retrofit stops, and machine rebuilds where matching the original tip material matters. The 3A thread fit keeps the screw in the precision set-screw class while the tip changes the way the end contacts the part. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.
Tip installation is handled by Cold Headers in Chicago, giving this category a practical home for soft-face set screw requirements. The alloy body is the dry-service workhorse choice when the bill of material calls for an alloy socket set screw with a soft face.
