What size screw does Framework Laptop 13 antenna module / top cover hinge screw use?

M1.6 × 3 mm for T5 head, 3.0mm head dia.

How long are the screws in Framework Laptop 13 antenna module / top cover hinge screw?

The record gives 3 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.

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.

What screwdriver do I need for Framework Laptop 13 antenna module / top cover hinge screw?

The source lists a Torx T5 drive. Standard M1.6 heads otherwise take PH00 (Phillips) or T4–T5 (Torx), or 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.

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). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
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 record states 3 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
Driver: the source names a Torx T5 drive. For comparison, standard M1.6 heads take PH00 (Phillips) or T4–T5 (Torx), or a 1.5 mm hex key.
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

Headphone hinge screw sizes are usually quoted from screwdriver bit size, not an actual thread spec - measure before buying.
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.
