6-32 x 3/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a heat-treated alloy steel cone point socket set screw with a nylon insert for thread drag after seating. 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.
Replacement assemblies with dimpled shafts can keep the original point style while adding a nylon insert for thread friction.
For uncommon set screw lengths, Cold Headers can quote the requested configuration without substituting a different point geometry. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
