Comparing:
M10 Thread
M2 Thread
M10 is an ISO metric machine screw thread with a nominal major diameter of 10.0 mm and a standard coarse pitch of 1.50 mm. Requiring an 8.50 mm tap drill, it is standard in automotive engine mounts, suspension control arms, motorcycle rear-view mirrors, and commercial HVAC hanging brackets.
M2 is an ISO metric machine screw thread with a nominal major diameter of 2.0 mm and a standard coarse pitch of 0.40 mm. Requiring a 1.60 mm tap drill, it is the universal standard thread for M.2 NVMe solid-state drive mounting standoffs and laptop internal chassis fastening.
