M3 x 10mm screws — what they fit & where to buy

146 sourced applications in this database list a M3 screw at 10 mm (or a length range that includes it), most of them in electronics, racks & enclosures. A M3 x 10mm screw has a 0.5 mm coarse pitch, so a fully engaged 10 mm shank gives about 20 thread turns (3.33× the diameter).
