Machine Screw · 6-32 x 3/8 in · Round Head Combo Drive Zinc-Plated Steel · Metallics JRM17
6-32 x 3/8 in round head machine screw with combination Phillips-slotted drive and zinc-plated steel construction for electrical boxes, covers, and general device mounting. Commonly used where a short machine screw is needed for light electrical hardware; verify thread match and required head style before ordering.
What this product is for
This 6-32 x 3/8 in machine screw is used to fasten electrical covers, device straps, fittings, and other light electrical hardware that accepts a matching 6-32 thread. The round head provides a finished profile, and the combination drive can be installed with either a Phillips or slotted screwdriver.
Use for
- Electrical box covers and device hardware with 6-32 threads
- Light-duty panel and enclosure hardware where a short screw length is required
- Service work where combo drive screws help when tool access is limited
Avoid for
- Applications requiring a different thread such as 8-32, 10-32, or sheet metal screws
- Outdoor or corrosive locations where a higher-corrosion-resistant material may be required
- Structural fastening or applications needing a specific certified assembly
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance staff replacing missing or damaged 6-32 hardware in boxes, covers, and similar electrical assemblies. The 3/8 in length is useful where clearance behind the fastened part is limited.
Installed in
Typically installed in electrical boxes, junction box covers, device brackets, luminaires, and light enclosures in residential, commercial, and maintenance work.
Why this product exists
It provides a common machine-thread fastener size used across many electrical components, with zinc plating for basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor service conditions and a combo drive for easier field installation.
Compared with similar products
Compared with pan head machine screws, a round head gives a more domed finished appearance. Compared with single-drive screws, a combination Phillips-slotted drive offers more installation flexibility. Zinc-plated steel is commonly chosen for general indoor electrical work, while stainless steel may be preferred for harsher environments.
