I forgot to measure the screws that hold the wires on a standard jet boat type terminal block. Not the ones that mount the block, but the wire retaining screws. Straight slot, I believe they are 10-24 or 10-32 X 3/8 or 1/2" long. Does anyone have one handy they could check for me? I'm at work, and don't want to get the wrong stuff.
Thanks, DD

Mine are 8-32.
If yours are bigger it will be 10-32. They're all 32 tpi I believe.

I ended up needing to run to the house to scan something in color. I measured mine and they are 8-32 x 5/16. I was ordering SS button head screws to replace the slotted ones, but didn't want to buy a box of the wrong size. After all- who wants to spend $6 for the wrong size screws? :rolleyes:
