Title: Thread pitch for seimitsu/sanwa screw buttons?
Post by: vinegar on July 16, 2016, 01:16:37 pm
Does anyone happen to know the precise pitch/diameter of the threads on semitsu/sanwa screw buttons?

That's pretty cool. Never seen one of those before.

To be clear, are you referring to:
- 30mm Seimitsu PS-14-GN-C / Sanwa OBSN (same diameter and thread pitch)
- 24mm Sanwa OBSN
- 24mm Seimitsu PS-14-DN

That's pretty cool. Never seen one of those before.
You can usually find one in a tap and die set.

Unfortunately, I don't have a metric set.  :(

Just a thread gauge...

Sorry, yes, 30mm PS-14/OBSNs.  I'm attempting to make something that replaces the nut and acts as both an led holder and isolating shroud to keep the light from bleeding to other buttons.

I also am missing a metric thread gauge :)  Figured I could ask while I wait on shipping.
