 screw | 283.17 KB |
I have a simple question.
I recently have purchased some components for my A2e.
The problem is I don't have the right nut and bolt to attach these to the back.
With this post, I have attached a picture of the screw that I need along with a quarter for size comparison.
Please help me identify this with name and place where I can possibly get them.
Thank you
The place I usually find these is junk cards for PCs. Most of the newer video cards, older serial/parallel cards or any card with a connector on them will have these. Some will be "nutted" others will be screwed right into the connector. I visit our goodwill store and look through the bins for old PC cards that I can take these off of.
If you can't find any, I can send you a few in the mail. Just PM me your mailing address.
P.S. They may not match in color and length exactly, but they will work.

They're called standoff screws, and they're very common on computers. Sneaking one that may be the correct size from a PC monitor or other peripheral port is probably easiest.
This one on ebay looks like it. Short post, long thread.:
