You’re assembling a small electronic device, mounting a PCB, or repairing a piece of consumer gear – and you need tiny, reliable screws that won’t rust or strip. These M1.2 through M4 pan head machine screws are made from nickel‑plated carbon steel to DIN 7985 standards. The Phillips drive gives you a secure grip with standard crosshead bits, and the pan head sits low with a wide bearing surface – perfect for plastic housings, sheet metal, or any spot where you want a neat, professional finish. Choose from diameters M1.2 up to M4, with lengths measured under the head (excluding the head). Fully threaded all the way. Keep an assortment on hand for everything from watch repair to furniture assembly.

1. What’s the difference between a pan head and a round head screw?
A pan head has a wider, flatter top with a slightly domed profile. It provides a larger bearing surface than a round head, so it’s less likely to pull through soft materials. Round heads are more dome‑shaped and taller. Pan heads are the modern choice for most general assembly.
2. Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
Nickel plating offers good protection against indoor humidity but is not fully waterproof. For outdoor use or constant moisture, choose stainless steel (A2/A4). These are perfect for indoor electronics, furniture, appliances, and workshop jigs.
3. How do I measure the length of a pan head screw?
For pan head screws (including DIN 7985), the length is measured from the underside of the head (the bearing surface) to the tip. The head itself is not included. So a “M3 x 10mm” screw has a 10mm threaded shaft under the head.
4. Do I need a special nut for these metric screws?
Standard metric nuts of the same thread size (e.g., M3 nut for an M3 screw) will fit perfectly. The thread pitch is standard coarse metric (0.25mm for M1.2 up to 0.7mm for M4). We sell matching nuts separately – check our store.
5. Can I drive these into wood or plastic without pre‑drilling?
These are machine screws, not self‑tapping wood screws. For wood, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the thread diameter, then drive the screw. For plastic, a pre‑molded or drilled hole works best. For direct threading into metal, you need a tapped hole or a nut.
6. Why does the product mention both Pozi and Phillips? Which one is this?
This listing is for Phillips drive screws (cross recess). Some similar items use Pozidriv, but these are standard Phillips. Use a #0, #1, or #2 Phillips screwdriver depending on screw size – no special Pozidriv bit required.
