4-48 x 1/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw supports drawings that specify cone point geometry for locating, holding, or hanger-style contact.
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.
Alloy steel construction is appropriate where the product specification calls for this family and the cone point geometry matches the intended contact condition.
Typical review areas for 4-48 x 1/8 include pivot points, hanger points, and drilled contact locations and machine controls, brackets, and locating points where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 4-48 thread is UNF with 48 TPI, and the 1/8 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. Confirm that the component can accept pointed penetration before substituting this style for a broader point. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and supports unusual set screw configurations.
