M2 Black Hexagonal Nylon Nut

Specifications:

• Thread Size: M2 (2mm Metric)
• Thread Pitch: 0.4mm (Standard)
• Material: Nylon 66 (Polyamide)
• Color: Industrial Black
• Width Across Flats: 4.0mm
• Height/Thickness: 1.6mm

Key Applications:

• FPV Micro-Drones: Securing flight controllers and VTX modules without adding weight.
• Camera Mounts: Perfect for mounting ESP32-CAM or Raspberry Pi Camera modules to plastic brackets.
• Wearable Tech: Lightweight fastening for sensors in clothing-integrated electronics.
• Medical Prototypes: Non-magnetic and non-reactive fastening for sensitive diagnostic tools.
• Compact Robotics: Ideal for the small-scale 10mm and 20mm chassis builds.

Project Evolution

• Past Projects (Prerequisites): If you've mastered building with M3 hardware, you've likely noticed that smaller modules (like the VL53L1X sensor) often have mounting holes that are too small for M3 screws.
• Feature Upgrade: Mastering M2 hardware unlocks the world of "Micro-Robotics." This product allows you to shrink your project footprint by up to 40%, enabling you to build smaller, more agile devices that were previously limited by bulky fasteners.
• Effort/Requirements: Beginner/Intermediate. Requires M2-specific tools or a steady hand with needle-nose pliers.

Virtual Technician & Wiring 

• Torque Warning: Nylon is strong but can strip if over-tightened with metal tools. We recommend finger-tightening plus a 1/8th turn with a small wrench.
• Chemical Safety: Nylon 66 is resistant to most oils and solvents but should not be exposed to concentrated acids.
• Static Safety: Since nylon is an insulator, it will not ground your board; ensure you have a dedicated ground path if required by your circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 

1. What is the thread size of these nuts?
   They are standard M2 metric threads.
2. Are they compatible with metal M2 screws?
   Yes, they work perfectly with both nylon and metal M2 screws.
3. Do they provide vibration resistance?
   Nylon has a slight natural "locking" property that resists loosening better than bare metal-on-metal.
4. Can I use these in high-temperature environments?
   They are rated for up to 120°C, which is safe for most electronics.
5. Are these nuts magnetic?
   No, they are 100% non-magnetic.
6. Will they fit a 4mm socket?
   Yes, the width across the flats is 4.0mm.
7. Are they RoHS compliant?
   Yes, our Nylon 66 hardware is RoHS certified.
8. Can I use these for outdoor projects?
   Yes, nylon is corrosion-resistant and the black color provides better UV protection than natural nylon.
9. How much does a single nut weigh?
   They are negligible in weight, approximately 0.05 grams per nut.
10. Can I dye them a different color?
    While possible, it is not recommended as it may affect the nylon's structural integrity.
11. Do these come in a locking (nyloc) version?
    These are standard hex nuts; the material itself provides enough friction for most micro-robotics applications.
12. What is the thread pitch?
    0.4mm pitch.
13. Are they suitable for water-based applications?
    Yes, nylon is resistant to water and won't rust.
14. What tool should I use to tighten them?
    A 4mm hex driver or small needle-nose pliers.
15. Will they melt during soldering?
    If a soldering iron touches them (300°C+), they will melt. Keep them away from direct heat.
16. Can I use these as spacers?
    They are 1.6mm thick, so they can act as very short spacers if needed.
17. Are they brittle?
    No, Nylon is known for its toughness and impact resistance.
18. Is the black color a coating?
    No, the nylon is molded in black, so the color won't chip off.
19. What is the dielectric strength?
    50 kV/mm, providing excellent electrical insulation.
20. How are they packaged?
    We use Probots™ Secure-Transit to ensure they arrive without any molding deformation.
