❓ FAQs – Brass Pan Head Phillips Screws (M2–M4)
🔸 Are these screws fully threaded? How is length measured?
Yes – they are fully threaded from just under the head to the tip. Length is measured from the underside of the head (the flat bearing surface) to the tip, not including the pan head. Please select your desired length from the product options.
🔸 Will brass screws rust or tarnish over time?
Brass does not rust like steel. It may develop a darker patina or slight greenish tint (verdigris) over years in damp or salty environments. This is a surface change that does not weaken the screw. For indoor use, they'll stay golden for a long time. For outdoor use, they outperform plain steel but aren't as corrosion‑resistant as stainless – ideal for decorative or low‑moisture exterior work.
🔸 What Phillips screwdriver size works for M2 through M4?
M2 and M2.5: use PH0 or PH00 (PH0 is best). M3: use PH0 or PH1. M4: use PH1. Using the correct size prevents stripping – a precision screwdriver set is recommended for the smaller sizes.
🔸 Can I use these screws with nuts, or are they self‑tapping?
These are machine screws – they require a matching metric nut (M2–M4) or a pre‑tapped hole. They are not self‑tapping. For best results, pair them with brass or stainless steel nuts.
🔸 Are M2–M4 brass screws magnetic? Will they interfere with electronics?
Brass is completely non‑magnetic. That makes them perfect for sensitive electronic equipment, MRI rooms, compass housings, or any application where stray magnetism is a problem.
🔸 What lengths are available for each diameter?
Lengths vary by size – please select from the dropdown options on the product page. Typical ranges: M2 (3–12mm), M2.5 (4–16mm), M3 (4–30mm), M4 (5–40mm). All lengths are measured under the head.
