1/2-13 x 7/16 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is used when the set screw must bear into a drilled dimple instead of relying only on surface pressure. The cone point is selected for mechanical interlock because the tapered tip seats into a spot or dimple instead of only pressing on the surface. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
Industrial repair work sometimes calls for cone point nylon-insert screws when removal access is from the socket end only.
Cold Headers supports distributor, OEM, and MRO sourcing when the item has to be defined by size, point, material, drive, and insert. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
