5/16-24 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. That makes it useful when the set screw must bear on a finished or plated part and later be adjusted again. Brass gives a firmer metallic contact face when that contact style is preferred over nylon.

Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and keeps this category focused on exact size, tip material, and application fit. The soft tip concentrates contact at the end of the screw while avoiding the harsher bite of an untreated alloy point.
