Tr20 × 4 Thread Dimensions

Tr 20 × 4 is a Trapezoidal thread. Pitch is 4 mm, equivalent to 6.35 threads per inch. The recommended tap drill is nominal diameter minus pitch.

How these values are derived

computed from the basic profile

These figures follow the Trapezoidal basic profile of ISO 2901. A 30° trapezoidal profile has a thread height of 0.5 × P: the pitch diameter is d₂ = d − 0.5 × P and the internal minor diameter is D₁ = d − P. The external minor diameter is d₃ = d − 0.5 × P − 2 × ac, where ac is the crest clearance the standard tabulates for that pitch. The recommended tap drill is given as nominal diameter minus pitch, which here is the basic internal minor diameter — a starting point rather than a cutting recommendation.

No specification in this database uses Tr20 × 4. Power threads are not fastener threads — they are found on lead screws, jacks and vice screws, so no bolt or nut in this catalogue is made in this form. The geometry above is what a machinist needs to cut it.
