How to check the screw before you buy
- A screw that is even 1 mm too long in a laptop base can push into the keyboard, battery or a board trace, so match the length position by position.
- Diameter: across the threads an M1.6 screw measures about 1.6 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M2 / M2.5, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- Pitch: 0.35 mm from one thread crest to the next (28.57 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 records span 1.8–7.9 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M1.6 heads take PH00 for Phillips and T4–T5 for Torx, and a 1.5 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 M1.6 is about 12-20 N·cm into metal threads and 6-10 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M1.6 / M2 / M2.5
- M1.6 is the most common laptop-internal micro screw after M2 — Dell XPS keyboards specifically call out M1.6 x 1.5mm, and generic M2 substitutes strip the bracket.
- M.2 SSD mounting screws (M2 x 3mm) are frequently mislabeled generically as 'M.2 screws' which can be confused with the M2 metric thread designation — they do coincide numerically here but are conceptually distinct (M.2 = card format, M2 = thread size).
- Dell/HP/Lenovo manuals often list screws only by torque or head shape, so community teardowns are needed for diameter.

- The records range from 1.8 to 7.9 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- What is the thread pitch of an M1.6 screw?
- 0.35 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M1.6 machine screws; a 0.2 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 1.25 mm and the normal clearance hole is 1.8 mm.

- The sources do not name the drive. For M1.6, Phillips heads normally take PH00 and Torx heads T4–T5; socket heads take a 1.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M1.6?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #1-72 UNF (1.85 mm) is larger; there is no true imperial equivalent. Use a true M1.6 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
