Dimensional and assembly data for M4 Wing Nuts to DIN 315. Includes head size and width across flats, clearance-hole and tapping-drill diameters, tightening torque per property class, and the sizes to step up or down to when the joint requires it.
M4 Dimensional Row (DIN 315)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Wing span (mm) | Wing height (mm) | Body height (mm) | Reference standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M4 | 0.7 | 28 | 17 | 9 | DIN 315 | Hand-tightened wing nut |

Common Applications for M4 Wing Nuts
M4 Wing Nuts are commonly specified for paired with the same-size screws on PCB hardware, light enclosures and small-scale assemblies.
Installation Tips for M4 Wing Nuts
- 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.
When to Step Up or Down from M4
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M4 class 8.8, step up to M5 class 8.8 (or move to M4 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M3 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
