| SystemMeasurement system — Inch (Unified) or Metric (ISO). | Metric |
|---|---|
| SeriesCoarse or fine thread series (UNC/UNF for inch). | Coarse |
| Pitch / TPIInch threads list threads-per-inch; metric threads list the pitch in mm. | 0.80 mm |
| Major ØNominal major (outside) diameter of the thread. | 5.00 mm |
| Tap drill (~75%)Drill before tapping for ~75% thread engagement — the common shop default. Inch drills are given as number/letter/fraction with the decimal size; metric as the drill diameter in mm. | 4.2 mm |
| Clearance holeBolt clearance hole where a reliable standard value exists — metric is the ISO 273 normal fit; inch fractional is the close fit (nominal + 1/64"). For other fits and inch machine-screw sizes, use the Clearance Hole Calculator. | 5.5 mm |
| Typical use | General assembly, panels, fixtures |
