Sony PMW-EX1R camcorder - chassis and covers screw size

M2 · 4 mm long

Our records put Sony PMW-EX1R camcorder - chassis and covers on M2 screws, 4 mm long.

It is listed for M2 x 4mm black and silver screws for the lithium battery holder, EVF/handle assembly, heat spreader, heat transfer sheet and case L assembly.

This entry is marked confirmed and comes from engineering-gourmet.wdfiles.com.

M2 means a 2 mm nominal diameter with a 0.4 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable.

How to check the screw before you buy

  1. If several screws hold the same part, check that they are all the same length before assuming they are.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
  5. The record states 4 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
  6. 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.
  7. 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

  • Xbox Series X internal chassis screws are M3, not M2 (confirmed on iFixit) — a widespread misconception.
  • M2 (2.00mm, 0.4mm pitch) is NOT the same as #2-56 UNC (2.18mm) — close enough to cross-thread and strip if forced.
