Dimensional data for M4 Square Nut, Metric to GB/T 39 / ISO 4034, with the drive and the installation notes for this type. Values are taken from the governing standard rather than from a general machine-thread table, because this type is not selected on one.
M4 Dimensional Row (GB/T 39 / ISO 4034)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Nut height m (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M4 | 0.7 | 7.0 | 2.2 | GB/T 39 / DIN 562 |
Spanner & Drive for M4 Square Nut, Metric — GB/T 39 / ISO 4034 (Series 076)
Drive geometry for M4 Square Nut, Metric — GB/T 39 / ISO 4034 (Series 076) is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Tightening Torque for M4
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2.9 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 4.1 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 4.9 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M4
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 898-1) | 8.78 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 5.1 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 7.3 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 8.5 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile, class 8.8 | 7 kN |
Proof load = stress area × proof stress per ISO 898-1. Design joints so the working preload stays below the proof load of the selected class.
Common Applications for M4 Square Nut, Metric — GB/T 39 / ISO 4034 (Series 076)
M4 Square Nut, Metric — GB/T 39 / ISO 4034 (Series 076) are commonly specified for paired with the same-size screws on PCB hardware, light enclosures and small-scale assemblies.
Installation Tips for M4 Square Nut, Metric — GB/T 39 / ISO 4034 (Series 076)
- At M4 the joint is sensitive to over-torque — use a torque-limiting driver and check the head doesn't bury into a softer counterpart.
Mating Parts for M4
Pair M4 with the matching M4 bolt or screw, plus a M4 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
