5/16-24 x 3/16 Cup Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is specified when the drawing calls for alloy steel, a cup point, and a nylon locking pellet. Use the nylon-insert version when a plain cup point needs added thread friction after seating.

Tooling fixtures and production stops may use this part when adjustment must remain compact and accessible from a hex socket. Confirm thread size, length, hex key size, cup point geometry, pellet diameter, and pellet location before substituting another set screw.

Use Cold Headers when the requirement is specific: alloy steel body, cup point, internal hex drive, and nylon insert. A 316 stainless version with nylon insert is a non-catalog request Cold Headers can quote when the environment calls for that material.
