The blade measures 5\/16 inches wide by 3\/64 inches thick, making it well suited for driving standard slotted fasteners in confined spaces where a standard screwdriver cannot reach. Overall length is 3 inches. The socket construction delivers the torque transfer of a drive tool with the tip profile of a flathead screwdriver bit, a combination that proves useful to HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working inside equipment panels, junction boxes, and valve assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket fits into standard 3\/8 inch drive tool setups and is used wherever slotted fasteners need to be driven or removed with controlled torque. Typical applications include panel cover screws, terminal block fasteners, and equipment access hardware in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. Its compact 0.6 inch by 0.6 inch body profile allows use in tighter clearances compared to bulkier bit-driver adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive for use with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch wide blade fits common slotted fastener heads found in trade equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/64 inch blade thickness provides a precise fit in standard slotted screw slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 inch overall length extends reach inside panels and enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.6 inch square body profile suits tight-clearance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 3\/8 inch drive screwdriver socket for use with any 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench accepting square-drive accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLicensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers typically use this socket when service procedures require controlled torque on slotted fasteners. Ensure equipment is de-energized and isolated before removing or installing any panel hardware. Use a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque specifications are called out in equipment service documentation. Inspect the blade tip for wear before use to avoid fastener head damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slotted Screwdriver Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27110000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J5240A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539433783602,"sku":"J5240A","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e8599b11e76642a1bc9f40ddc7cd23a8.jpg?v=1785840216","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5240a-3-8-drive-slotted-screwdriver-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
