Re: [motm] Screw Dimensions

2006-11-15 by timothy cooper

I Believe the "8" is the thickness of the screw(milimeters maybe?) the "32" is the thread count (I think it's per inch ie 32 threads per inch) and the "3/8" is the length of the screw. All in all I'd also, for the simple sake of knowledge, like to know for sure what the "8" means...millimeters/16ths of an inch....

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.
