How to check the screw before you buy
- Take one original screw out first and measure it before ordering; the record above tells you the thread, the original screw tells you the exact length and head.
- Diameter: across the threads an M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.7 mm from one thread crest to the next (14.29 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 12 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source names a Torx drive. For comparison, standard M4 heads take PH2 (Phillips) or T20 (Torx), or a 3 mm hex key.
Common mix-ups with M4
- Manual gives torque only, not screw length/drive type — verify physically before sourcing replacements.
- Robot vacuum, air purifier and baby monitor teardowns list screws by driver and length only — length is not a thread size.
