How to check the screw before you buy
- Do not confuse metric mounting screws with the 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 tripod threads that cameras and clamps also carry.
- 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.
- Driver: the source names a Hex socket (Allen) drive. For comparison, standard M2.5 heads take PH1 (Phillips) or T8 (Torx), or a 2 mm hex key.
- 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
- Projector optics and fan screws often step down to M2.5 while the outer covers use M3 - do not reuse cover screws inside the light engine.
- M2.5 and M3 look the same to the naked eye — you need calipers on the shank to tell them apart.
