Notes
- MJ internal minor dia D1 min 2.915 mm = D min - 9/8H: raised above the M profile to clear the external root radius (para. 1.1). No root radius is specified; the root may not transgress the basic profile (para. 2.4.1). MJ internal threads accept ASME B1.13M (M profile) external threads, but an MJ external thread may interfere with an M internal thread minor dia (para. 1.3).
Mates
MJ3.5 x 0.6 - 4H6H takes a thread of the same standard at the same size and pitch. The standard mating external thread is class 4h6h. Check the fit with the standard pair →
Working out the mating options…
Different pitch or a different thread family never mate; the fit check runs over both tolerance zones.
