1/4-20 x 1/2 is a brass tip alloy steel socket set screw built for set-screw fastening where a soft contact face is preferred over a hardened point.

Typical uses include instrument fixtures, small control components, and bench-built positioning hardware. Buyers should confirm the tip material, thread fit, thread size, and threaded body length against the drawing before substitution. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.

Cold Headers applies nylon and brass tips in-house, which keeps the contact-face detail tied closely to the socket fastener itself. Nylon and brass tips serve different jobs: nylon gives the softer touch, while brass provides a firmer metallic face.
