7/16-14 x 2 1/4 Half Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw belongs in assemblies where the set screw tip acts as a locating feature rather than only a friction point.
The shortened pilot can help align or retain parts while reducing projection beyond the receiving hole, slot, or keyway.
This family is suited to industrial mechanical assemblies where a steel half dog point screw is part of the locating method.
Typical review areas for 7/16-14 x 2 1/4 include maintenance bins, equipment rebuilds, and point-style controlled sourcing and couplings, handles, collars, and shaft-mounted accessories where the blunt pilot is part of the assembly fit.
Thread arithmetic for 7/16-14: 14 TPI in the UNC series; compare the 2 1/4 in. length with tapped depth and pilot reach. For retrofit work, compare the end style against the original part before treating it as a generic set screw.
