E-bike displays & controller housings screw size

M2 · 4 to 8 mm long

The screws used on E-bike displays & controller housings are M2 in lengths from 4 to 8 mm.

Where it is used: display bezel and controller box screws, not standardised across brands.

This entry is marked reported and comes from techsparewarehouse.com.

For reference, M2 is 2 mm across the threads at 0.4 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable.

How to check the screw before you buy

  1. For a wall or arm mount, the screw has to engage the threaded insert by several turns but must not bottom out, so measure the insert depth and add the thickness of the bracket and any spacers.
  2. Diameter: across the threads an M2 screw measures about 2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
  3. Pitch: 0.4 mm from one thread crest to the next (25 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
  4. Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
  5. The records span 4–8 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
  6. Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M2 heads take PH0 for Phillips and T6 for Torx, and a 1.5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
  7. Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M2 is about 25-40 N·cm into metal threads and 12-20 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M2

  • Packaging/labeling equipment manuals (e.g., cab print-and-apply applicators) mix M2 through M6 fasteners across a single machine for very different assemblies (sensors vs. frame vs. drive) — do not generalize one thread size to 'the machine' as a whole; cite the specific subassembly.
  • Slot car brands also use M2.2 and M2.6 threads that look like M2 but will not interchange - Slot.it M2.2x4.5 motor mount and SCC M2.6x8 body screws are separate sizes.

Questions about E-bike displays & controller housings screws

What size screw does E-bike displays & controller housings use?
M2 × 4–8 mm for display bezel and controller box screws, not standardised across brands.
How long are the screws in E-bike displays & controller housings?
The records range from 4 to 8 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
What is the thread pitch of an M2 screw?
0.4 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M2 machine screws; a 0.25 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 1.6 mm and the normal clearance hole is 2.4 mm.
What screwdriver do I need for E-bike displays & controller housings?
The sources do not name the drive. For M2, Phillips heads normally take PH0 and Torx heads T6; socket heads take a 1.5 mm hex key.
Can I use an imperial screw instead of M2?
No. Imperial look-alike: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable. Use a true M2 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
Where can I buy replacement screws for E-bike displays & controller housings?
TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M2 x 4mm, M2 x 5mm and M2 x 6mm, which match lengths in the records above.
