How to check the screw before you buy
- Scope and accessory mounts often publish a torque value; tighten to it in a cross pattern.
- Diameter: across the threads an M5 screw measures about 5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.8 mm from one thread crest to the next (12.5 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: the source describes a countersunk (flat) head, and those are measured overall, from the top of the head to the tip.
- Driver: the source names a Pozidriv drive. For comparison, standard M5 heads take PH2 (Phillips) or T25 (Torx), or a 4 mm hex key.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M5 is about 4.0-6.0 N·m into metal threads and 1.5-2.5 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M5
- Ski and snowboard binding screws vary by brand and insert system (4x4, Channel, Tyrolia, Marker). Aftermarket suppliers standardise on M5/M6 but OEM screws can be a different pitch.
- Inductive proximity sensors are sold by barrel thread (M5, M8, M12...) — the barrel is the thread, not a separate mounting screw.
