HP LaserJet family common hardware screw size

HP LaserJet family common hardware screw specifications

One row per fitment record. Head, drive are shown only where the source states them; pitch is the ISO coarse pitch for the thread.

How to check the screw before you buy

1. Vibration loosens small screws on drones and RC models, so builders commonly add a drop of medium (blue) threadlocker on metal-to-metal joints — never on plastic.
2. 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.
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: for pan head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
5. The records span 4–25 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
6. Driver: the source names a Phillips drive. For comparison, standard M3 heads take PH1 (Phillips) or T10 (Torx), or a 2.5 mm hex key.
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.

Questions about HP LaserJet family common hardware screws

What size screw does HP LaserJet family common hardware use?

M3 × 5–8 mm for pan-head Phillips M3 x 5mm and M3 x 8mm chassis screws listed as cross-model stock hardware; M3 × 4–10 mm for washer-head Phillips M3 x 4, 6, 8 and 10mm chassis screws; M3 × 6–10 mm for star-washer Phillips M3 x 6, 8 and 10mm screws; M3 × 4–8 mm for self-tapping Phillips M3 x 4, 6 and 8mm screws; M3 × 4–25 mm for trus-head Phillips M3 x 4, 8, 10 and 25mm screws, some with star washer; M3 × 8–12 mm for M3 x 8mm and M3 x 12mm screws supplied with loose flat and lock washers; M4 × 6–14 mm for pan-head Phillips M4 x 6, 8 and 14mm chassis screws, plus star-washer M4 x 6 and washer-head M4 x 8; M4 × 8–12 mm for self-tapping Phillips M4 x 8, 10 and 12mm screws.

How long are the screws in HP LaserJet family common hardware?

The records range from 4 to 25 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 HP LaserJet family common hardware?

The source lists a Phillips drive. Standard M3 heads otherwise take PH1 (Phillips) or T10 (Torx), or 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 HP LaserJet family common hardware?

TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M3 x 5mm, M3 x 6mm and M3 x 8mm, which match lengths in the records above.
