everything anyone would need to know and more...look down to the "Unified Thread Standard" section that gives the low-down on all of it!

Hi All,

I'm trying to acquire a proper set of machine screw taps here and can't
figure how to read the US screw dimensions.
According to Paul's part lists the mounting screws for the modules are

#8-32 x 3/8

What is what? Esp. what defines the thread dimensions?

Thanks a lot, Michael.
