Samsung microwave / TV (shared hardware families) screw size
M3 · 8 mm long
The screws used on Samsung microwave / TV (shared hardware families) are M3, 8 mm long.
Where it is used: OEM Samsung small-appliance tap screws explicitly specified as M3, e.g. 'Screw-Taptype;Bh,+,B,M3' (6003-000115) and 'Self-Tapping Screw, M3, Phillips Pan Head, M3 x 8, SWRCH18A Steel' (6002-000630).
Head and drive, as the source states them: pan head and Phillips drive.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from partstown.com.
An M3 screw is 3 mm in diameter with a 0.5 mm pitch, tapped with a 2.5 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

How to check the screw before you buy
- For a wall or arm mount, the screw has to engage the threaded insert by several turns but must not bottom out, so measure the insert depth and add the thickness of the bracket and any spacers.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 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).
- The record states 8 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source names a Phillips drive. For comparison, standard M3 heads take PH1 (Phillips) or T10 (Torx), or a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M3
- Cleanroom/vacuum-rated M3 screws (titanium, vented, low-outgas) from NBK are a distinct specialty class, priced and sourced very differently from commodity M3 hardware — do not substitute one for the other in semiconductor fixtures.
- Many gas-detector and sensor manuals only give a torque spec (e.g. '0.5 N·m max') without repeating the thread size at every mention — the explicit M3 callout is usually only in the accessories/spare-parts table, not the main installation steps.

Questions about Samsung microwave / TV (shared hardware families) screws
- What size screw does Samsung microwave / TV (shared hardware families) use?
- M3 × 8 mm for OEM Samsung small-appliance tap screws explicitly specified as M3, e.g. 'Screw-Taptype;Bh,+,B,M3' (6003-000115) and 'Self-Tapping Screw, M3, Phillips Pan Head, M3 x 8, SWRCH18A Steel' (6002-000630).
- How long are the screws in Samsung microwave / TV (shared hardware families)?
- The record gives 8 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M3 screw?
- 0.5 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M3 machine screws; a 0.35 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 2.5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 3.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Samsung microwave / TV (shared hardware families)?
- The source lists a Phillips drive. Standard M3 heads otherwise take PH1 (Phillips) or T10 (Torx), or a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M3?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3. Use a true M3 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- Where can I buy replacement screws for Samsung microwave / TV (shared hardware families)?
- TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M3 x 8mm, which matches the length in the records above.
