4-40 x 1/4 Nylon Tip 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw gives designers a soft-contact socket set screw option with a nylon tip and 18-8 stainless steel body. Nylon is specified when the application needs a softer sacrificial tip instead of direct stainless contact.

Electrical enclosure hardware and control-panel mechanisms use the headless form where covers need clearance. Internal socket access keeps the screw headless for compact adjustment points.

For maintenance, production, and distributor sourcing, Cold Headers can help verify size and tip data. Check the 4-40 x 1/4 thread, threaded length, tip length, tip diameter, mating material, and drive access against the drawing. 18-8 Set Screws with Nylon Insert grip the tapped hole; this tip screw protects the contacted surface. The A and C tip dimensions give 4-40 x 1/4 a row-specific contact profile for purchasing review.
