How to check the screw before you buy
- Laptop covers and brackets often mix two or three lengths of the same thread, so lay the screws out in the order they came out (a magnetic mat or a sheet of paper with the hole pattern drawn on it works).
- Diameter: across the threads an M1.2 screw measures about 1.2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M1.4 / M1.6 / M2 / M2.5, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- Pitch: 0.25 mm from one thread crest to the next (40 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 1.5–4.5 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source names a Torx T5 drive. For comparison, standard M1.2 heads take PH000 / JIS 00 (Phillips) or T1–T2 (Torx).
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M1.2 is about 5-8 N·cm into metal threads and 3-5 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M1.2 / M1.4 / M1.6 / M2 / M2.5
- M1.2 and M1.4 look identical in an eyeglass repair kit — the wrong one strips soft acetate or metal hinges.
- Dental implant screws (M1.4/M1.6) are proprietary per system — Bredent, NeoBiotech, Nobel and Straumann are not interchangeable even at the same nominal size.
- Headphone hinge screw sizes are usually quoted from screwdriver bit size, not an actual thread spec - measure before buying.
- The standard M.2 SSD screw is M2 x 3mm, but some laptops and handhelds use non-standard lengths or head shapes.

- What is the thread pitch of an M1.2 screw?
- 0.25 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M1.2 machine screws. The tap drill is 0.95 mm and the normal clearance hole is 1.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Dell XPS 13 9300?

- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M1.2?
