SG90 micro servo case screw size
M2.5 · 10 mm long
If you are replacing a screw on SG90 micro servo case, the thread is M2.5, 10 mm long.
The record covers the tiny self-tapping screws holding the case together.
This entry is marked reported and comes from towerpro.com.tw.
M2.5 means a 2.5 mm nominal diameter with a 0.45 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: #3-48 / #4-40 (2.51 / 2.84 mm) — #4-40 is the common US stand-in and it will NOT thread in.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Printer and CNC builds usually publish a bill of materials; when it lists a length, follow it, since extrusion T-nuts and motor faces have fixed thread depths.
- Diameter: across the threads an M2.5 screw measures about 2.5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.45 mm from one thread crest to the next (22.22 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 10 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 M2.5 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T8 for Torx, and a 2 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 M2.5 is about 45-70 N·cm into metal threads and 20-35 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M2.5
- M2.5 pitch is 0.45mm vs M3's 0.5mm and M2's 0.4mm — forcing the wrong one strips plastic bosses instantly.
- M2.5 and M3 look the same to the naked eye — you need calipers on the shank to tell them apart.

Questions about SG90 micro servo case screws
- What size screw does SG90 micro servo case use?
- M2.5 × 10 mm for the tiny self-tapping screws holding the case together.
- How long are the screws in SG90 micro servo case?
- The record gives 10 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M2.5 screw?
- 0.45 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M2.5 machine screws; a 0.35 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 2.05 mm and the normal clearance hole is 2.9 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for SG90 micro servo case?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M2.5, Phillips heads normally take PH1 and Torx heads T8; socket heads take a 2 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M2.5?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #3-48 / #4-40 (2.51 / 2.84 mm) — #4-40 is the common US stand-in and it will NOT thread in. Use a true M2.5 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- Where can I buy replacement screws for SG90 micro servo case?
- TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M2.5 x 10mm, which matches the length in the records above.
