Elo E458992 EMV payment terminal mount kit screw size

M3 · 8 mm long

The screws used on Elo E458992 EMV payment terminal mount kit are M3, 8 mm long.

It is listed for bracket mounting to self-service stand.

This entry is marked confirmed and comes from docs.elotouch.com.

For reference, M3 is 3 mm across the threads at 0.5 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

How to check the screw before you buy

  1. Board standoffs and enclosure bosses set the usable length: the screw should clamp the board without bottoming in the standoff.
  2. Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
  3. Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 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 record states 8 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
  6. Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M3 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T10 for Torx, and a 2.5 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 M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M3

  • DIN-rail terminal blocks are near-universally M3 across Dinkle, TE, Omron and RND, but torque differs (0.5-0.8 Nm) — over-torquing an M3 terminal screw strips it instantly.
  • Terminal-block clamp screws have manufacturer-specific torque values — over-tightening cracks the block or crushes the wire.

Questions about Elo E458992 EMV payment terminal mount kit screws

What size screw does Elo E458992 EMV payment terminal mount kit use?
M3 × 8 mm for bracket mounting to self-service stand.
How long are the screws in Elo E458992 EMV payment terminal mount kit?
The record gives 8 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
What is the thread pitch of an M3 screw?
0.5 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M3 machine screws; a 0.35 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 2.5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 3.4 mm.
What screwdriver do I need for Elo E458992 EMV payment terminal mount kit?
The sources do not name the drive. For M3, Phillips heads normally take PH1 and Torx heads T10; socket heads take a 2.5 mm hex key.
Can I use an imperial screw instead of M3?
No. Imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3. Use a true M3 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
Where can I buy replacement screws for Elo E458992 EMV payment terminal mount kit?
TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M3 x 8mm, which matches the length in the records above.
