UNC Screws (US Fitted)

The #6-32 UNC screws are often used on 3.5-inch hard disk drives and the housing body to secure the covers.

The M3 thread holes are often found on 5.25-inch optical drives, 3.5-inch disk drives and 2.5-inch drives.

Main boards and other printed circuit boards often use a #6-32 UNC spacer.

#4-40 UNC knurled screws are often found at the ends of DVI, VGA, serial and parallel connections.

Very likely NOT.

This is specially tailored to the PC area and is not a building market product.

Are you really the opinion that the question is about m3 screws?

Screw with inch thread: 3.3 mm
Screw with metric thread (M3) : 2,83 mm

If you call the one with the customs thread, between 3mm and 4mm, you will measure.

With me it was M3 counterhead screws with short thread.

Why don’t you go to a computer store if you don’t need 100, they’ll give you some.

You can see the thread pitch.

Yeah, I can. Unfortunately, you cannot add a picture in a comment. So I could show you how a similar screw with M3 thread looks.

Such screws, which are used in computers, I have mass, both with metric thread and with the inch thread. Who has worked with computers for years can then distinguish them.
