M2 x 5mm Black Plastic Nylon Pan Head Phillips Screw

Specifications:

• Thread Size: M2 (2mm Metric)
• Thread Pitch: 0.4mm (Standard)
• Screw Length: 5mm (Measured from under the head)
• Head Type: Pan Head
• Drive Type: Phillips (Cross Recess)
• Material: Nylon
• Color: Jet Black
• Width Across Flats: 5.5mm
• Height/Thickness: 2.4mm

Key Applications:

•  Micro-Robotics: Securing ultra-lightweight components on palm-sized drones and nano-robot frames where every milligram counts.
• IoT & Sensors: Mounting delicate PCBs like the ESP32-CAM or VL53L1X sensors inside compact enclosures without the risk of short-circuits.
• FPV & Racing Drones: Fastening VTX (Video Transmitter) modules and micro-cameras to isolate them from vibration and electrical noise.
• Custom Smart Watch: Perfect for securing internal OLED displays and battery brackets within a 3D-printed wearable housing.
• DIY Mini LIDAR: Mounting a rotating sensor array where metal screws would interfere with magnetic sensors or increase rotational inertia.

Project Evolution

• Past Projects (Prerequisites): If you've previously built with M3 hardware, you've likely noticed that smaller modules (like the ESP32-CAM) 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. Requires a standard Phillips #0 or #00 screwdriver.

Virtual Technician & Wiring 

• Torque Warning: Do not use electric drivers; manual tightening is required to prevent stripping the nylon threads.
• Material: Nylon 66 is an insulator; ensure you have a dedicated ground path if your circuit requires chassis grounding.
