How long are the screws in Generic pan head screw (DIN 7985 / ISO 7045)?

None of the sources states a length. Remove one screw and measure it from under the head to the tip (overall for a countersunk head).

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 Generic pan head screw (DIN 7985 / ISO 7045)?

The source lists a Phillips drive. Standard M2 heads otherwise take PH0 (Phillips) or T6 (Torx), or 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.

M2 · length not stated in the sources

Generic pan head screw (DIN 7985 / ISO 7045) takes M2 metric screws. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.

It is listed for DIN 7985 defines cross-recessed (Phillips) pan head screw dimensional table for metric threaded screws, superseded/matched by ISO 1207 and ISO 7045.

Head and drive, as the source states them: pan head and Phillips drive.

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

M2 means a 2 mm nominal diameter with a 0.4 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable.

How to check the screw before you buy

If several screws hold the same part, check that they are all the same length before assuming they are.
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.
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.
Length: for pan head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
Driver: the source names a Phillips drive. For comparison, standard M2 heads take PH0 (Phillips) or T6 (Torx), or a 1.5 mm hex key.
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

'M2' is sometimes used loosely by resellers to mean 'roughly 2mm' without a real ISO metric thread; only counted here when the source datasheet explicitly states 'M2' thread.
Framework 13 and 16 use five thread families (M1.2 to M2.5) with overlapping lengths; buy Framework's own fastener kit rather than generic M2 screws.
