6-40 x 3/16 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw helps separate cone point requirements from flat, cup, dog, or other set screw point styles.

This point style is useful where a shaft, collar, stop, or fixture detail is expected to accept a clear indentation from the screw tip.

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 6-40 x 3/16 include fixtures, tooling details, and adjustment screws and fixtures, tooling details, and adjustment screws where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.

The 6-40 thread is UNF 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 helps buyers keep small point-geometry differences visible during sourcing.
