The major diameter for a #6-32 thread is 0.138 inches (3.51 mm) according to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard, with 32 threads per inch (TPI). This value represents the nominal diameter for the #6 screw size in this common threading series.
Detailed Description. The 505 screw is a #6-32 screw with a major thread diameter of #6, which is defined as 3.51 mm (0.138 in.).
The major diameter of a thread is the diameter of the imaginary co-axial cylinder that just touches the crest of an external thread or the root of an internal thread. The minor diameter is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder that just touches the roots of an external thread and (or) the crests of an internal thread.
The head of the screw is 0.281'' wide and 0.125'' high. The body is 0.156'' in diameter and Array'' long.

The bottom M3 screw has a finer pitch than the top #6-32 UNC screw. The M3 is a metric screw specifying a nominal diameter of 3 millimetres (0.12 in); and standard coarse thread pitch defined as 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in).

What is the 3-Thread Rule? The 3-thread rule ensures that a bolt or stud extends at least three full threads beyond the nut to guarantee full engagement. This prevents improper fastening, which could lead to loosening or joint failure.
Remember, major diameter is the diameter as measured at the widest part of the threads, and “nominal” means “basically.” In fact, the spec on this part actually calls out a major diameter of between 13.682–13.962 millimeters but nobody wants to say “M13.
If measuring the major diameter of an external thread, place the caliper's jaws on the thread's crest. If measuring the major diameter of an internal thread, place the jaws on the thread's groove. To measure bolt length, measure the head's bottom to the threading's end.
A thread is a series of similar messages or posts on a specific topic, with a sequential order of comments that make way for a conversation or debate. Threads provide an organized and linear way to initiate, participate, and follow a discussion.

Using the wrong drill bit size can lead to a number of issues: Stripped Threads: If the hole is too small, your tap might strip the threads, making them too weak to hold anything. Loose Fit: On the other hand, if the hole is too large, the threads will be too loose, and your fasteners will not hold securely.
