Finding the right small-diameter screw for electronics repair, furniture assembly, or precision fabrication shouldn't mean ordering from five different suppliers. These Phillips pan head machine screws cover M1.0 through M6 in a single listing — giving engineers, hobbyists, and repair technicians a reliable one-stop source for the metric fasteners they reach for most.
Each screw features a rounded pan head profile with a Phillips cross recess, manufactured from steel with a nickel-plated finish for corrosion resistance and a clean silver appearance. Diameters range from M1.0 (≈0.039") to M6 (≈0.236"), with lengths from 2mm (5/64") to 50mm (≈2"). Available in packs of 5 or 25 pieces — order exactly what your project requires.
These nickel-plated pan head screws are a go-to choice for assembling consumer electronics enclosures, securing PCB standoffs, mounting interior furniture hardware, and fastening lightweight automotive interior panels. Their pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider surface area than flat-head designs, making them ideal for soft materials like plastic and thin sheet metal.

A general rule is to use a screw length 2–3 times the thickness of the material being fastened. For example, fastening a 3mm panel typically calls for a 6–10mm screw. For blind holes, match the screw length to the hole depth minus 1–2mm to avoid bottoming out. When in doubt, size up — a slightly longer screw with a nut or lock washer is more secure than one that barely engages the thread.
Nickel plating provides a corrosion-resistant barrier that protects the base metal from oxidation and mild moisture exposure. It also gives the screw a clean, uniform silver appearance that suits electronics enclosures and visible hardware applications. The plating is generally thinner than zinc or hot-dip galvanizing, so it is best suited for indoor or light-duty outdoor use rather than prolonged wet or salt-spray environments.
Nickel-plated screws are generally suitable for light outdoor or indoor-outdoor use in dry to mildly humid conditions. For prolonged exposure to rain, salt air, or standing moisture, stainless steel screws (A2 or A4 grade) are typically recommended for better long-term corrosion resistance. If you need outdoor-rated fasteners, check our stainless steel machine screw listings.
Yes. These screws follow ISO metric thread standards and are compatible with standard metric hex nuts, nylon lock nuts, flange nuts, and threaded inserts of the corresponding diameter (M1.0 through M6). Always verify the thread pitch matches your application — standard coarse metric pitches apply for these sizes.
The correct bit size generally corresponds to the screw diameter: PH000 or PH00 for M1.0–M1.6, PH0 for M2–M2.5, PH1 for M3–M4, and PH2 for M5–M6. Using the correct bit is critical for small screws — an oversized bit will not seat in the recess and can strip the head on the first turn. A precision screwdriver set with multiple PH sizes is recommended for M1.0–M2 work.
Nickel-plated machine screws are typically made from carbon steel or alloy steel with a plated finish, providing tensile strength generally suitable for light to medium-duty fastening. They perform well in electronics, furniture, and general assembly applications. For high-stress structural or load-bearing applications, hardened steel (Grade 8 / 10.9) or stainless steel fasteners are generally preferred.
Yes. Phillips pan head machine screws are widely used in plastic enclosures, aluminum panels, and PCB standoff assemblies. Pre-drill a pilot hole sized to the screw's minor diameter to avoid cracking or stripping. For PCB work, use the smallest appropriate size (M1.0–M2) to avoid damaging board traces. A thread-locking compound is recommended for assemblies subject to vibration.
