Tech/Engineering - Media / Multimedia / Anbringung eines Kartenlesers an die Wand
English term or phrase: 6-32 holes
Attach the provided rear panel to the wall and drill two "6-32 holes" and one 1/2 inch hole on it.

Es geht um das Festschrauben der Rückseite eines Kartenlesers an die Wand. 6-32 kann sich nicht auf inch beziehen, das wäre zu gross. Aber worauf dann???

Danke!

Explanation:
"The 6-32 is a UTS screw with a major thread diameter of 0.1380 inches and a pitch (distance between adjacent threads) of 1/32 in. It is by far the most common screw found inside computer cases[1] and commonly appears in lengths of 0.15 and 0.25 in. Nearly every brand new computer case comes with a bag of these. They are used:

To fasten the power supply to the case
To fasten the hard disk drive to the case
To hold the expansion cards in place by their metal slot cover (such as PCI, ISA)
To fasten case components to one another
Usually, a 6-32 screw holds the main cover on the case. When it's not a 6-32, a larger 8-32 is the most likely alternative.
Of all the screws provided by computer case manufacturers, the 6-32 screw typically has the coarsest threading. They are almost always provided with a Phillips drive, accepting a #2 size tip (the larger of the two most common Phillips screwdriver tips). While a #1 size tip will drive the screw, it will be awkward to use and increases the risk of cam-out and damage to the screw head. They are less frequently provided with a hex head, even less with a pan head - a low disk with a chamfered outer edge. Because they are used in places where easy removal and replacement may be desirable (such as on the side panels of the PC case), they are frequently available as thumbscrews with oversized friction-gripped heads that can be removed with one's fingers rather than with tools.

6-32 screws will fit into holes threaded for M3 screws (the second most common type of screw in PCs), but this will damage the finer M3 threading. Also, when 6-32 screws are screwed into brass M3-threaded motherboard standoffs, the threads tend to become "locked", and the entire motherboard must be removed to separate them"
