What is the diameter of an ATX motherboard standoff screw.

So how deep do they go into the case and what is there thickness

m3 screws (3mm) but some standoffs use fine thread some use coarse thread

so the standoffs in these have what diameter and what threading.

They look like m3 fine thread. Make sure you get short screws though as you'll have to cut down long screws.

 

You can also use these screws for optical drives and solid state drives. Power supplies and hard drives use coarse thread.

Thanks, I was just designing and hopefully making my own desk with my PC built into it.

Using Inventor so I needed to know that for where I would be placing the MOBO in the case. 

I'll make a whole thread on it dw.

Other Thoughts: I emailed the company and found out that both the male and female ends have a 6-32 thread size.

I'll post the link to the thread with screenshots of the CAD files once I am done and start making every thing. Ill post the link to the thread in this thread as well if you are interested

Idk If you are into CAD but that is just the Main part of the desk and I am trying to make it look as smexy as possible lol

M3 threading, 4-40 but size.

@IshanSethi

 

Most are standardized to use 6-32 for both end of the threaded standoff, while some still use 4-40 that screw into the motherboard tray.
