How long are the screws in Eurorack synthesiser case (Intellijel 7U Performance Case Gen 2)?

The records range from 6 to 10 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.

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 Eurorack synthesiser case (Intellijel 7U Performance Case Gen 2)?

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 Eurorack synthesiser case (Intellijel 7U Performance Case Gen 2)?

TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M3 x 6mm and M3 x 8mm, which match lengths in the records above.

Eurorack synthesiser case (Intellijel 7U Performance Case Gen 2) screw size

M3 / M4 · 6 to 10 mm long

The screws used on Eurorack synthesiser case (Intellijel 7U Performance Case Gen 2) are M3 and M4 in lengths from 6 to 10 mm.

There are 2 separate fitment records for it, including standard Eurorack module mounting screws into the rails, M3 x 6 mm or 8 mm with a washer (M3) and case joiner / middle rail hardware — four M4 bolts, 8-10 mm recommended (M4).

2 of the 2 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (intellijel.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

Board standoffs and enclosure bosses set the usable length: the screw should clamp the board without bottoming in the standoff.
Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M4, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
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.
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 6–10 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
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.
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 / M4

Eurorack is a strong known case with two competing metric standards (M2.5 for Vector rails, M3 for Schroff/DIN-style and 3U threaded rails); mixing rail types requires matching screw/nut thread.
Eurorack cases mix M3 (most common) and M2.5 rails — check the case brand before buying in bulk.
Most HVAC chassis hardware in US-market units is imperial; metric shows up mainly on European-made components.
Not all telescope/finder hardware is metric — Celestron Edge/NexStar SE finder-shoe and dovetail screws are reported as 8/32 (imperial UNC), so metric M4/M5 fitments cannot be assumed across all Celestron products; must check per accessory/vintage.
