2-56 x 7/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw fits adjustment and holding applications where the cone point works directly against the mating part.
The pointed end can also serve as a pivot or hanger point where the design intentionally uses focused contact instead of a broad bearing surface.
Use this material identity when the bill of material calls for alloy steel; environmental exposure and surface requirements should still be checked against the application.
Typical review areas for 2-56 x 7/8 include equipment rebuilds, service records, and exact-size substitutions and couplings, handles, collars, and retained accessories where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 2-56 thread is UNC with 56 TPI, and the 7/8 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. For replacement work, keep the cone point callout intact before comparing this item to other set screw families. Cold Headers works with socket fastener requirements where item-level details affect fit and ordering accuracy.
