M2 screw and bolt sizes are commonly used in miniature assemblies, electronics, micro-RC, and precision devices. Use this chart to quickly find head height, head diameter, and drive size for popular M2 types. If you’re new to standards, DIN and ISO numbers are the exact identifiers that define official dimensions (e.g., DIN 912, ISO 7380). Standard coarse thread for M2 is M2-0.40.

M2 FAQs

What hex key fits an M2 socket head cap screw?

Typically a 1.5 mm hex key. Low-head, button, and flat socket styles commonly use a 1.3 mm hex.

What nut fits an M2 screw?

M2 screws pair with M2 nuts and M2 washers. Metric sizes always match by nominal diameter.

What is the standard M2 thread pitch?

Standard coarse pitch is M2-0.40. Fine-pitch options exist but are less common—always verify your tapped hole or nut.

Is an M2 the same as a #1 or #2 screw?

No. M2 (~2.0 mm) is close to some small #-sizes, but they use different thread systems and are not interchangeable.
