3/8-16 x 1/2 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert serves equipment that needs top-side socket access and a built-in prevailing-torque feature. Nylon contact at the thread adds frictional resistance while preserving the standard internal hex drive arrangement.

This size is often reviewed for automation equipment, robotic end-of-arm tooling, and stainless brackets when a stainless cap screw must retain a familiar socket head form. The 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material is used for general corrosion resistance and a clean appearance in ordinary industrial environments.

Use the exact thread, length, pellet diameter, and pellet location when matching drawings or service records. Cold Headers installs nylon inserts in-house for supported socket-cap configurations, with odd-size sourcing handled through the quote process.
