Name that screw type!

[DJ-1701]

Anyone know where I can buy varying screws like this? I have no idea of what type it's called. You can mostly see them used in places like laptop monitor hinges.

 

 

It's a wide 6-7mm screw head but very flat and thin, with 3-4mm depth depending on fitting.

 

Cheers.

nope, I harvest them from older laptops. look on ebay for your laptop and parts sellers may have that bit.

I believe they're called wafer head (machine) screws, use a pair of calipers (or sometimes it's marked on the chassis) to find out the thread diameter (probably M2/M3) and the depth, size of head. Might be difficult to source but you can try this website I just found (https://www.laptopscrewsdirect.com/), I usually harvest them from dead laptops and keep them in a box by size

 

Sizes will be thread size, length and then the head size will be seperate, e.g. M2x3, 5mm head size might then be referenced somewhere else.
