Phoenix Contact CHARX EV charging connector screw size

M4 · 20 mm long

If you are replacing a screw on Phoenix Contact CHARX EV charging connector, the thread is M4, 20 mm long.

It is listed for CCS Type 1 DC charging connector repair kit specified with M4 x 20 screw hardware.

This entry is marked confirmed and comes from nexxconn.com.

For reference, M4 is 4 mm across the threads at 0.7 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same.

How to check the screw before you buy

  1. Board standoffs and enclosure bosses set the usable length: the screw should clamp the board without bottoming in the standoff.
  2. Diameter: across the threads an M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
  3. Pitch: 0.7 mm from one thread crest to the next (14.29 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
  4. Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
  5. The record states 20 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
  6. Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M4 heads take PH2 for Phillips and T20 for Torx, and a 3 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
  7. Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M4 is about 2.0-3.0 N·m into metal threads and 0.8-1.4 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M4

  • Grounding-lug screws on Siemens and Beckhoff gear (M4) are earth hardware, not structural mounting screws — don't reuse them to hold a module.
  • Most HVAC chassis hardware in US-market units is imperial; metric shows up mainly on European-made components.

Questions about Phoenix Contact CHARX EV charging connector screws

What size screw does Phoenix Contact CHARX EV charging connector use?
M4 × 20 mm for CCS Type 1 DC charging connector repair kit specified with M4 x 20 screw hardware.
How long are the screws in Phoenix Contact CHARX EV charging connector?
The record gives 20 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
What is the thread pitch of an M4 screw?
0.7 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M4 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 3.3 mm and the normal clearance hole is 4.5 mm.
What screwdriver do I need for Phoenix Contact CHARX EV charging connector?
The sources do not name the drive. For M4, Phillips heads normally take PH2 and Torx heads T20; socket heads take a 3 mm hex key.
Can I use an imperial screw instead of M4?
No. Imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same. Use a true M4 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
