This is a 5-pack of the M.2 screws that SparkFun uses with the MicroMod ecosystem.
MicroMod uses the common M.2 connector. This is the same connector found on modern motherboards and laptops. There are various locations for the plastic ‘key’ on the M.2 connector to prevent a user from inserting an incompatible device. The MicroMod standard uses the ‘E’ key and further modifies the M.2 standard by moving the mounting screw 4mm to the side. The ‘E’ key is fairly common so a user could insert a M.2 compatible WiFi module but because the screw mount doesn’t align, the user would not be able to secure an incompatible device into a MicroMod carrier board.
MicroMod is a modular interface ecosystem that connects a microcontroller “processor board” to various “carrier board” peripherals. Utilizing the M.2 standard, the MicroMod standard is designed to easily swap out processors on the fly. Pair a specialized carrier board for the project you need with your choice of compatible processor!

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- M.2
- M.2 is a compact edge-connector standard for plugging small modules - such as SSDs, wireless cards or microcontroller modules - into a host board without soldering. The same slot shape can carry different interfaces (for example PCIe, SATA or USB), so keying and the supported module type need to be checked.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- MicroMod
- MicroMod is a modular board system where a small processor board plugs into a separate carrier board (via an M.2 connector) that provides connectors, power, and peripherals. Within the MicroMod system, a board is either a processor board or a carrier board, and you need a matching pair of both before you can run project code.
