The MICRO SCREW M1.6×L2 is an ultra-small precision fastener designed for applications requiring minimal space and high precision. Its key technical characteristics include:
Thread Diameter: 1.6mm (M1.6 metric thread)
Length: 2mm (L2) from under-head measurement
Thread Pitch: Standard 0.35mm pitch for M1.6 screws
Head Style: Typically features a pan head or flat head design with a head diameter of 3mm
Drive Type: Phillips #00 or JIS B 1012-1985 0.8mm screwdriver compatible
Material: Commonly manufactured from stainless steel (SUS304) with tensile strength of 500-700 MPa or alloy steel with tensile strength up to 1,200 MPa
Surface Treatment: Often features black oxide coating (3-5μm) or zinc plating (5-8μm) for corrosion resistance
Torque Specification: Recommended tightening torque of 0.05-0.1 Nm to prevent thread stripping
The MICRO SCREW M1.6×L2 finds extensive use in precision industries where space constraints and lightweight fastening are critical requirements:
Electronics Manufacturing: Used in smartphones, tablets, and laptops for securing small components with PCB mounting clearance of just 0.5mm
Medical Devices: Essential in surgical instruments and diagnostic equipment where sterilizability (autoclave resistant up to 134°C) is required
Optical Systems: Secures lens assemblies in cameras and microscopes with vibration resistance up to 10G
Precision Mechanics: Used in watchmaking and miniature mechanical systems where tolerance levels of ±0.02mm are maintained
Automotive Electronics: Fastens control modules and sensors in vehicles with temperature resistance from -40°C to 120°C
Aerospace Components: Used in avionics where weight savings of 0.5g per screw contribute to overall weight reduction
Proper maintenance of MICRO SCREW M1.6×L2 is crucial for ensuring long-term reliability in precision applications:
Use ESD-safe tools when handling in electronic applications to prevent static discharge
Apply thread-locking compound (Loctite 222) for vibration-prone applications using 0.01ml per screw
Maintain 90° driver alignment during installation to prevent cam-out and head stripping
Use torque-limiting screwdrivers calibrated to 0.08 Nm ±10%
Clean with isopropyl alcohol (99.9% purity) using lint-free swabs
Inspect threads under 10x magnification for wear or deformation
Check for corrosion spots >0.1mm which indicate replacement need
Verify head marking integrity for material traceability
Store in 20-25°C, 40-60% RH controlled environments
Use anti-static containers for electronic applications
Implement FIFO inventory rotation to prevent long-term storage degradation
Maintain nitrogen-purged packaging for critical aerospace applications
When replacing MICRO SCREW M1.6×L2 components:
Always use matched thread pitch gauges to verify compatibility
Replace in complete sets when used in load-bearing configurations
Document installation torque values for quality control records
Consider magnetic separation during removal to prevent loss in confined spaces
