1/4-20 x 1 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert is built for drawings that call for both stainless material and prevailing-torque thread locking. The insert is positioned in the threaded body so the screw can develop prevailing torque during engagement.
In electrical enclosures, cabinet hardware, or field service assemblies, the internal hex drive keeps installation compact while the insert adds thread-friction locking action. The 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material is used for general corrosion resistance and a clean appearance in ordinary industrial environments.
For rounded exposed heads with the same locking concept, review 18-8 Button Head Socket Cap Screws with Nylon Insert. Cold Headers installs nylon inserts in-house for supported socket-cap configurations, with odd-size sourcing handled through the quote process.
