Analogis phono cartridge screw set screw size
M2.5 · length not stated in the sources
If you are replacing a screw on Analogis phono cartridge screw set, the thread is M2.5. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
The record covers turntable cartridge/headshell hardware.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from stereos.store.
For reference, M2.5 is 2.5 mm across the threads at 0.45 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #3-48 / #4-40 (2.51 / 2.84 mm) — #4-40 is the common US stand-in and it will NOT thread in.

How to check the screw before you buy
- On vehicles and bikes, use the original strength class and finish; outdoor hardware is usually stainless or coated to resist corrosion.
- Diameter: across the threads an M2.5 screw measures about 2.5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.45 mm from one thread crest to the next (22.22 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.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M2.5 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T8 for Torx, and a 2 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M2.5 is about 45-70 N·cm into metal threads and 20-35 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M2.5
- M2 and M2.5 are both marketed for turntable headshells; buyers must check which their specific cartridge/tonearm brand uses.
- M2.5 pitch is 0.45mm vs M3's 0.5mm and M2's 0.4mm — forcing the wrong one strips plastic bosses instantly.
