Correct size screwdriver bit for torquing M1.6 screw?

I'm beginning to think that the screws "just aren't made like they used to be". That said, if the description of the bit is just PH0, PH00, "standard" or "high torque" without providing geometry (same thing goes for the screws), it's nearly impossi

I'm not exactly sure of your problem...but I'll give it a shot. I assume the screw is on the solder side of the board. If you wave solder the screw the head will fill in with solder. Try a water solouble mask or peelable laytex mask over the screw

We are to install a very small BGA socket, the datasheet noted to be torque the M1.6 size Phillips screw to the spec for installation. I couldn't find the correct size bit that would fit our torque screwdriver. Per the screw size, shouldn't it be PH0

Howdy, This subject may be a little off subject, but I have been looking for a source that can give me info for the recommended torque on hardware. What I would love to see, is a chart that can show me, for example a column for the screw size (SAE &

That sounds very odd what smter is saying. The screws around the outside of the fans have nothing to do with the bearings. You only really need to tighten those screws enough to squish the gasket a little. No special torque settings required. As lon

From what I can gather, the annular rings are used for grounding when these boards are put in housings. A screw goes through the hole and is torqued down. If there is excess solder on the annular ring, the screw doesn't seat properly. The pallets cov

Screws are scary. I'll bet they don't need to be. On the other hand, lookit ... http://www.fastenersforelectronics.com/electronics/drivetorque.html So, you're gunna get all those customers to buy-off on your torquing scheme? Ummm.

Some thoughts- Torque applied to each joint is case specific. I know there are charts and all, but they don't account for YOUR situation such as screwing a fab to a chassis(or your aluminum screw). If the customer sets a spec then use it. (But i
