4-40 x 3/16 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw fits adjustment and holding applications where the cone point works directly against the mating part.
Cone point geometry concentrates contact at the tip, so it is often seated into a pre-spotted or drilled dimple to control location and reduce wandering during service.
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 4-40 x 3/16 include couplings, handles, collars, and retained accessories and equipment rebuilds, service records, and exact-size substitutions where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 4-40 thread is UNC with 40 TPI, and the 3/16 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. Match the thread and length to the print because length changes can alter where the conical tip seats. Cold Headers assists with exact-size sourcing when cone point details matter to the final order.
