Socket Jam Screws (USA)

Socket jam screws, also known as socket set screws with jam points, are a specialized type of threaded fastener designed to provide secure fastening and locking in applications where vibration, movement, or unintentional loosening is a concern. These screws incorporate a specific point style called the "jam point," which enhances their ability to grip and hold components in place.

Socket jam screws are commonly used in industries such as machinery, automotive, electronics and more. When using socket jam screws, it's important to ensure that the point makes secure contact with the mating surface for effective grip. Care should also be taken not to overtighten them, as this can lead to damage or distortion of components. Proper torque application and understanding the specific application requirements are essential for successful and reliable use of socket jam screws.
