Re: Threads for screws on 8656 Siggen
|
I went to a hardware specialty store with one of the Torx screws from the 8643. They said it was not a metric diameter. Nor was it 32 threads per inch, a US "coarse" thread. They said it look like it was a US? #6-40, an uncommon but US-standard "fine thread". Today I bought a baggie with 20 and.......it appears to be close to the right diameter but it is not 40 threads per inch.

I have not figured out what the thread is, but it is NOT a US fine threaded, 6-40. Bill On 3/17/2025 3:54 AM, Steve Hendrix wrote:

I am assuming they are 5/32 as 3mm and 4mm metric are either too small or too big. or wrong threadThere's also a 3.5mm standard thread, used on IEEE-488 connectors, that might be a possibility. |
