Bolts?

demonstalker · 21-July-03, 01:40 PM

I am looking for some nice Red Annodized Bolts to finish off a sub box I am building for my truck. I found some that sound good but I am not 100% sure about how to read the size. They are listed as "4-40 x 1 Button Hd Soc Cap Screw", I believe the "4-40" is the thread size, and the "1" in the length (in inches). Is this correct? Thanks.

Yup. That's thread pitch and length.

And
I might add that that is also the size screw that fits through the holes of Radeon 9xxx seriesVid card gpu coolers

4-40 x 1"
(4)-screw size/(40)threrads per inch/(1")lengh

w00t. Thanks for the input,I may find that important in the future, when I get away from onboard...

One more question on the topic, approx. what would the diameter of the threaded part of the bolt be? a rough estimate will do? Eigth Inch or so?

KayinStorm · 21-July-03, 02:10 PM

approximately. You won't really know for sure till it gets here, but that's probably what 90% of those are. Best of luck to you, man.

between 1/8'and 3/32" ;lil bastards

demonstalker · 21-July-03, 03:05 PM

Hmm..alright. That should be enough for what i'm looking for.

the clearence hole for a 4-40 screw is .114 - .119 (diameter of hole in thousanths of an inch)
The drill bit size (in wire sizing) is a #32
in fraction sizing use a 1/8" (but this will be a little slop in the fit)
