Thread: Whats the thread size on the Graflex electrical pins?

    Default Whats the thread size on the Graflex electrical pins?

    I'm curious what the thread size is, didn't see it on TCSS dimension sheet.

    How can we be expected to think outside the box when we work in one?

    i imagine there is a sort of measurement for it, but its so damn tiny, suffice it to say they are micro screws

    I was wondering exactly the same thing. There needs to be a specific number for tapping holes.

    Yeah, there has to be one... I mean they are threaded after all....

    I think I recall reading somewhere that they are 4-40 threads. I haven't even tried to install mine yet, LOL.

    That's correct.

    I don't think they are 4-40. I tried to fix a stripped out hole on a replica flash before (the plastic part) and a 4-40 tap made the hole so big the pin slipped right in. I suspect they may be a 3-48 or even a 2-56 but I have never taken the trouble to positively measure one and figure it out.

    Edit: I see you are asking about the ones TCSS sells. Maybe you should email TIm and ask him if he knows.

    That's strange. I used a set of them in my Starkiller saber. I tapped the holes at 4-40, and they fit just fine. They might be a hair sloppy, but they seemed to thread in properly.
