M3X0.5 Metric Cup Point Allen Socket Drive Set Screw
Cup point set screws have a concave indentation at one end. The cupped edge of the concave helps secure the set screw into place by digging to the contact surface material. This point style also helps prevent loosening from vibration.
Set screws are commonly used in tight areas, sitting flush with or below the work surface.
For use in compression only, not for tensile or shear loads. Set screws can be used as an easy-to-install alternative to full thread studs because they have an internal allen socket drive at one end for compression use only.
Measured by overall length, an allen socket hex drive is used to tighten this set screw.
A black oxide finish provides minimal corrosion resistance, best for indoor, dry environments. This finish is not suitable for outdoor applications, and will rust when exposed to moisture.
