Laptop hinges, keyboard assemblies, smartphone chassis, and precision instruments all rely on tiny fasteners that most hardware stores simply don’t stock. These nickel-plated micro machine screws in M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, and M1.7 cover the exact size range used in consumer electronics repair and fine DIY work — with the corrosion resistance and clean finish that precision applications demand.
The nickel plating delivers a bright silver appearance, improved surface hardness, and reliable corrosion resistance — far better than bare steel in the humid, heat-cycling environments inside laptops and phones. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard precision screwdrivers (PH000/PH00), making these a practical choice for repair technicians and hobbyists alike.
Available in lengths from 2mm to 12mm and bulk pack sizes from 50 to 1000 pieces — ideal for repair shops stocking a full range, or DIYers who need a reliable supply on hand.
Compatibility: ISO metric thread — M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, M1.7. Phillips Drive (PH000/PH00). Requires a pre-tapped hole or a matching metric nut. Not self-tapping.
Note: Size format is M[diameter] × [length]mm (e.g., M1.6 × 5 = 1.6mm diameter, 5mm long). Not all length options are available for every diameter — check the variant, selector. For laptop/phone repair, verify your device’s screw spec before ordering.

FAQ
What sizes are available?
Thread diameters M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, and M1.7. Lengths: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12mm. Not all length combinations are available for every diameter — check the variant selector on this page.
What is the nickel plating for?
Nickel plating provides corrosion resistance, a bright silver finish, and improved surface hardness. It is the standard finish for precision electronics fasteners used in laptops, phones, and instruments.
What screwdriver do I need?
A Phillips precision screwdriver — PH000 for M1.2–M1.4, PH00 for M1.6–M1.7. Always use a quality precision driver to avoid stripping the head on these small screws.
Are these suitable for laptop and phone repair?
Yes. M1.4 and M1.6 are among the most common sizes in laptop hinges, keyboard assemblies, and smartphone chassis. Verify your device’s exact screw spec before ordering.
Do these require a tapped hole or nut?
Yes — these are machine screws, not self-tapping. They require a pre-tapped hole or a matching metric nut. They will not cut their own thread into plastic or metal.
How do I read the size format?
Size is M[diameter] × [length]mm. For example, M1.6 × 5 = 1.6mm thread diameter, 5mm shaft length (measured from under the head to the tip).
What pack sizes are available?
Available in packs of 50, 100, 500, and 1000 pieces. Larger packs offer better value for repair shops and production use.
What is M1.7 used for?
M1.7 is a less common size found in certain laptop models and precision instruments. If your device uses M1.7, it’s often difficult to source locally — stocking a supply is recommended for repair technicians.
