5/8-18 x 7/16 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw provides a compact internal-drive set screw for locations that need aggressive point engagement.
Cone point geometry concentrates contact at the tip, so it is often seated into a pre-spotted or drilled dimple to control location and reduce wandering during service.
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 5/8-18 x 7/16 include shaft collars, stops, and hub-mounted components and conveyor equipment, packaging machinery, and production hardware where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 5/8-18 thread is UNF with 18 TPI, and the 7/16 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. If a dimple or spotted hole is used, confirm that the screw reaches it without bottoming out in the tapped bore. Cold Headers assists with exact-size sourcing when cone point details matter to the final order.
