Notes
- MJ external root: a continuous radius, never less than R min 0.113 mm (0.15011P), tangent to the flanks at not less than 0.5625H below the basic crest; root diameter d3 must lie between 3.533 and 3.634 mm (para. 2.4.2, Fig. 4). Two tangent arcs and a flat are allowed.
Mates
MJ4.5 x 0.75 - 4h6h screws into a thread of the same standard at the same size and pitch. The standard mating internal 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.
