Audio Equipment Screws

(14 products)

Small metric screws for headphones, turntable headshells, microphones and XLR connectors. Every listing is a 50-pack of Phillips flat head screws in black carbon steel. That's enough for a full rebuild or a repair bench.

How to choose the right size

  • Turntable cartridge to headshell: M2.5 x 8, 10, 12 or 14mm. Pick the length from the cartridge body height plus the headshell thickness. The screw should come through the nut by 1–2mm without reaching the stylus assembly. Tall cartridges and thick headshells need 12–14mm.
  • XLR connectors: M2 x 6mm or M3 x 6mm, depending on the connector's shell and strain-relief screw. Measure the thread first.
  • Microphones: M2.5 x 6mm for microphone housing repairs.
  • Headphone headbands: M2 x 6mm for headband repairs.

To measure, hold the old screw against a ruler. The diameter across the threads gives the M number, and the length is measured under the head only.

Compatibility note

These are metric threads. Some older US-made audio gear uses imperial sizes such as #2-56 or #4-40, which these screws won't fit. Rack-mount ear screws (usually 10-32 or M6) are not in this collection.

FAQ

What screws hold a cartridge to a headshell?

M2.5 in most modern headshells. The length depends on your cartridge, which is why we stock 8–14mm.

Are these screws magnetic?

Yes. Carbon steel is magnetic, so keep them away from the cartridge magnet while you work.

Can I buy fewer than 50?

Audio sizes are sold in 50-packs only.

How do I know these screws will fit my device?

Every listing states the exact metric thread, length, head type and finish. Match it against your original screw, your model's page in our model guides, or measure with the finder tool. If it's still wrong, we make it right.

Can I buy just one screw?

Yes — that's our specialty. Most sizes are sold as single screws, with 10-packs, 50-packs and 100-packs for shops and fleets. Each cart line needs to reach $4.99, so very low-priced singles are added in a small multiple.

How fast is shipping?
