How to check the screw before you buy
- Appliance panels often use self-tapping screws into sheet metal or plastic, and machine screws into nuts or inserts — keep each type where it came from.
- 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: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The records span 6–21 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M3 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T10 for Torx, and a 2.5 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 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
- On FPV motors, screw length is safety-critical: one turn too long and the screw crushes the motor windings. Measure arm + base depth, and dry-fit before powering up.
- 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.
