1/2-20 x 3 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is used where a headless set screw must reach a defined contact spot inside a threaded component.

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 1/2-20 x 3 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 1/2-20 thread is UNF with 20 TPI, and the 3 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.
