How to check the screw before you buy
- Do not confuse metric mounting screws with the 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 tripod threads that cameras and clamps also carry.
- 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 socket cap screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- The records span 2–12 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source names a Hex socket (Allen) 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 Precision instrument hex socket head screws (used in cameras/electronics repair) screws
- What size screw does Precision instrument hex socket head screws (used in cameras/electronics repair) use?
- M1.6 × 2–12 mm for NBK catalog SNSS miniature hex socket head cap screw series explicitly offers M1.6 nominal thread with selectable lengths 2-12mm.
- How long are the screws in Precision instrument hex socket head screws (used in cameras/electronics repair)?
- The records range from 2 to 12 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- 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 Precision instrument hex socket head screws (used in cameras/electronics repair)?
- The source lists a Hex socket (Allen) 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.
- Where can I buy replacement screws for Precision instrument hex socket head screws (used in cameras/electronics repair)?
- TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M1.6 x 3mm and M1.6 x 4mm, which match lengths in the records above.
