Thanked: 586Miniature Machine Screws, Nuts and Washers
About a hundred years ago I was working in the aerospace industry. My company made infra-red earth sensors for satellites. In fact, I personally worked on the horizon sensors for all the GPS satellites! I left that job to go into the medical device industry. I was a senior quality engineer for urological and gynocological endoscopes and accessories. The products of both companies utilized alot of itty bitty hardware. Here are a few suppliers of miniature hardware. You can get screws down to 000-120 (0.034"!) in stainless, brass and titanium. The minimum orders are not that big either. Good luck! Brad
