How to check the screw before you buy
- Over-long screws in phones are a known cause of damaged boards (Apple's 'long screw damage'), so never swap positions.
- 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: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 2.5 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 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.
- Most consumer gadget teardowns (robot vacuums, toothbrushes, e-readers, VR headsets) list only the driver bit, not the thread — measure before ordering.
