🔩 M2 M2.5 M3 M4 Brass Pan Head Phillips Screws – DIN 7985, Fully Threaded (Length Under Head)
You’re restoring a vintage radio, building custom brass hardware for furniture, or working on a marine electrical panel – and ordinary steel screws would look out of place or corrode. These M2 to M4 brass pan head screws are made to DIN 7985, offering a classic, warm golden tone with the convenience of a Phillips drive. The low‑profile pan head provides a wide bearing surface, perfect for wood, plastic, and soft metals. Fully threaded with coarse metric pitch, length measured under the head. Available in M2, M2.5, M3, and M4 diameters with a range of lengths (select from dropdown). Solid brass resists corrosion, is non‑magnetic, and develops a beautiful natural patina over time. Ideal for furniture, instrument repair, electrical terminals, and decorative projects.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Brass Pan Head Screws
1. How do I measure the length of a pan head screw?
For pan head screws (DIN 7985), length is measured from the underside of the head (the flat bearing surface) to the tip. The head itself is NOT included. So an “M3 x 10mm” screw has a 10mm long threaded shaft under the head. This matches our listing.
2. Are these screws fully threaded? What about longer lengths?
Yes – all M2 to M4 brass screws in this range are fully threaded from under the head to the tip, giving you maximum grip even in shallow holes.
3. Will brass screws rust or tarnish? Can I use them outdoors?
Brass does not rust (it contains no iron). It does develop a natural patina – first darkening, then sometimes turning greenish in saltwater or high humidity. This patina is protective. Brass is suitable for outdoor furniture, marine hardware (above waterline), and coastal applications. For continuous saltwater immersion, use bronze or 316 stainless.
4. Are these screws strong enough for furniture assembly?
Yes – for light to medium duty furniture (chairs, tables, cabinets, hinges), brass screws are plenty strong. They are softer than steel, so avoid over‑torquing. For heavy structural loads (bed frames, large shelving), use steel screws. For decorative hardware and antique restoration, brass is perfect.
5. What Phillips screwdriver size do I need for M2 to M4?
For M2 and M2.5, use a #000 or #00 Phillips. For M3 and M4, a #0 or #1 works. Always use a driver that fits snugly to avoid cam‑out and head damage.
6. Do you offer matching brass nuts or washers?
Yes – we sell brass hex nuts and flat washers separately in the same sizes. Check our store or contact us for details.
