How to check the screw before you buy
- Phone and wearable screws are tiny and often differ by fractions of a millimetre between positions; keep each one next to the hole it came from.
- 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 2.3 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M1.6 heads take PH00 for Phillips and T4–T5 for Torx, and a 1.5 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 M1.6 is about 12-20 N·cm into metal threads and 6-10 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
