Set screws are compression fasteners that can be used to prevent relational motion of permanently located parts. They are typically used in electronics and for applications where space is a key concern. Set screws feature these key characteristics: • A hexagonal socket recessed in one end, or an external square or slotted head • A point designed to bear against a mating part at the opposite end • Threads extending the entire length of the shaft HEAD TYPES Slotted Single slot for driving with a standard screwdriver. Socket Recessed drive makes screws ideal for flush mounting.

Square Enables external wrenching of the screw. Use in environments in which grease or dirt might clog a recessed drive. POINT TYPES Cone Pointed end generates highest torsional holding power in applications where parts must be permanently located. Cup Cup-shaped point features a conical depression for excellent holding power with slight penetration.

Flat Minimizes shaft damage in applications where parts are frequently reset or when fastening into thin walls. Holo-Knurl® Trademarked ridged cup point provides exceptional holding power. Socket features ratchet locking action. Knurled Cup Provides more resistance to vibration than a plain cup point. Deep socket broach assures a good hex key fit. Oval Rounded point reduces indentation and prevents deformation of parts in applications requiring frequent adjustment.
