When a maintenance list or drawing calls for a brass cup point set screw, 5/16-18 x 1/2 Brass Cup Point Socket Set Screw provides a clear product callout for purchasing and replacement work.
In electrical controls, knobs, and handles, this screw is often selected where brass material and internal-hex access are useful in a compact assembly. The socket drive helps maintenance and assembly teams install or remove the fastener without needing side clearance around a head.
Selection should account for mating material, drive access, conductivity requirements, environmental exposure, and whether localized point contact is acceptable. This 5/16-18 x 1/2 size gives buyers a precise callout for ordering. It can fit electrical equipment, controls, instrumentation, fixtures, panels, and light-duty machinery when brass is specified. The point geometry gives the installer a defined end form for localized holding contact rather than a general-purpose threaded plug. Cold Headers works with distributors, maintenance teams, and production buyers that need clear size identification for specialty brass socket products.
