M2 x 4mm screws — what they fit & where to buy

138 sourced applications in this database list a M2 screw at 4 mm (or a length range that includes it), most of them in laptops & pcs. A M2 x 4mm screw has a 0.4 mm coarse pitch, so a fully engaged 4 mm shank gives about 10 thread turns (2× the diameter).
