Molex D-Sub connector jackscrew (panel-mount retention screw) screw size
M2 · length not stated in the sources
Our records put Molex D-Sub connector jackscrew (panel-mount retention screw) on M2 screws. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
Where it is used: molex part 0714330002 datasheet/distributor listing: 'CONN JACK SCREW M2 0.197"' explicit M2 thread jackscrew for D-Sub connectors.
Head and drive, as the source states them: low-profile head.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from oceanstarelec.com.
For reference, M2 is 2 mm across the threads at 0.4 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Rack and enclosure hardware mixes metric and imperial (#8-32, #10-32, #6-32), so confirm the thread before forcing a screw.
- 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 low-profile head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M2 heads take PH0 for Phillips and T6 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 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.
- M2 CMM stylus threads are a de facto industry standard (Renishaw-originated) rather than a formal ISO CMM spec; do not confuse with M2 electronics screws which have different head/length conventions.

Questions about Molex D-Sub connector jackscrew (panel-mount retention screw) screws
- What size screw does Molex D-Sub connector jackscrew (panel-mount retention screw) use?
- M2 for molex part 0714330002 datasheet/distributor listing: 'CONN JACK SCREW M2 0.197"' explicit M2 thread jackscrew for D-Sub connectors.
- How long are the screws in Molex D-Sub connector jackscrew (panel-mount retention screw)?
- 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 Molex D-Sub connector jackscrew (panel-mount retention screw)?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M2, Phillips heads normally take PH0 and Torx heads T6; socket heads take 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.
