Captive pan-head miniature screw for precision instruments (NBK SSCZS series) screw size
M1.4 · length not stated in the sources
Captive pan-head miniature screw for precision instruments (NBK SSCZS series) takes M1.4 metric screws. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
The record covers manufacturer part number 'SSCZS-M1.4' explicitly encodes the M1.4 thread; product family described as 'Pan head captive machine screws for precision instruments (miniature screws)' — a generic fastener aimed at compact instrument/medical-device housings, not a named consumer device.
Head and drive, as the source states them: pan head.
This entry is marked unverified and comes from nbk1560.com.
An M1.4 screw is 1.4 mm in diameter with a 0.3 mm pitch, tapped with a 1.1 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #0-80 UNF (1.52 mm) — close in diameter, different pitch, do not mix.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Do not confuse metric mounting screws with the 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 tripod threads that cameras and clamps also carry.
- Diameter: across the threads an M1.4 screw measures about 1.4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.3 mm from one thread crest to the next (33.33 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: for pan head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M1.4 heads take PH000 / PH00 for Phillips and T2–T3 for Torx, and a 1.3 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 M1.4 is about 8-12 N·cm into metal threads and 4-7 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M1.4
- M1.4 is below common commodity stock; Mitutoyo sells these as branded service parts rather than generic hardware.
- Whoop drone M1.4 comes in steel, PEEK and RENY versions: plastic ones are for cameras, not structural frame use.

Questions about Captive pan-head miniature screw for precision instruments (NBK SSCZS series) screws
- What size screw does Captive pan-head miniature screw for precision instruments (NBK SSCZS series) use?
- M1.4 for manufacturer part number 'SSCZS-M1.4' explicitly encodes the M1.4 thread; product family described as 'Pan head captive machine screws for precision instruments (miniature screws)' — a generic fastener aimed at compact instrument/medical-device housings, not a named consumer device.
- How long are the screws in Captive pan-head miniature screw for precision instruments (NBK SSCZS series)?
- None of the sources states a length. Remove one screw and measure it from under the head to the tip (overall for a countersunk head).
- What is the thread pitch of an M1.4 screw?
- 0.3 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M1.4 machine screws. The tap drill is 1.1 mm and the normal clearance hole is 1.6 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Captive pan-head miniature screw for precision instruments (NBK SSCZS series)?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M1.4, Phillips heads normally take PH000 / PH00 and Torx heads T2–T3; socket heads take a 1.3 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M1.4?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #0-80 UNF (1.52 mm) — close in diameter, different pitch, do not mix. Use a true M1.4 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
