Surgical instrument set screw (rigid endoscope/laparoscopic instrument repair parts) screw size
M2 · 1.5 mm long
Surgical instrument set screw (rigid endoscope/laparoscopic instrument repair parts) takes M2 metric screws, 1.5 mm long.
The record covers set Screw M2.0 x 1.5mm, slit + top, listed as a repair part for surgical instruments.
Head and drive, as the source states them: set screw (headless) head.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from shop.danmed.de.
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
- Keep material and finish the same as the original (often stainless) on equipment that is cleaned or sterilised.
- 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.
- 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.
- Length: for set screw (headless) screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- The record states 1.5 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 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.
- 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
- DJI airframes mix 1.5mm/2mm hex and Phillips drives at similar diameters — check the drive type, not just the thread.
- 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.

Questions about Surgical instrument set screw (rigid endoscope/laparoscopic instrument repair parts) screws
- What size screw does Surgical instrument set screw (rigid endoscope/laparoscopic instrument repair parts) use?
- M2 × 1.5 mm for set Screw M2.0 x 1.5mm, slit + top, listed as a repair part for surgical instruments.
- How long are the screws in Surgical instrument set screw (rigid endoscope/laparoscopic instrument repair parts)?
- The record gives 1.5 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 screw?
- 0.4 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M2 machine screws; a 0.25 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 1.6 mm and the normal clearance hole is 2.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Surgical instrument set screw (rigid endoscope/laparoscopic instrument repair parts)?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M2, Phillips heads normally take PH0 and Torx heads T6; socket heads take a 1.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M2?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable. Use a true M2 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
