Miniature stainless machine screws for electronics/models/instruments screw size
M1.6 · length not stated in the sources
If you are replacing a screw on Miniature stainless machine screws for electronics/models/instruments, the thread is M1.6. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
The record covers DIN 7985A A2 Phillips pan-head machine screw bundle explicitly sized M1.0, M1.2, M1.6, sold for 'electronics, eyeglasses, models, or delicate instruments'.
Head and drive, as the source states them: pan head and Phillips drive.
This entry is marked reported and comes from crecen.es.
For reference, M1.6 is 1.6 mm across the threads at 0.35 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #1-72 UNF (1.85 mm) is larger; there is no true imperial equivalent.

How to check the screw before you buy
- 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.
- 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: 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 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.

Questions about Miniature stainless machine screws for electronics/models/instruments screws
- What size screw does Miniature stainless machine screws for electronics/models/instruments use?
- M1.6 for DIN 7985A A2 Phillips pan-head machine screw bundle explicitly sized M1.0, M1.2, M1.6, sold for 'electronics, eyeglasses, models, or delicate instruments'.
- How long are the screws in Miniature stainless machine screws for electronics/models/instruments?
- 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 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 Miniature stainless machine screws for electronics/models/instruments?
- The source lists a Phillips 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.
