Panel Mnt MIDI Jack Screws

This should be an easy answer, but I haven’t be able to find it: what screws would you use for the typical panel mount DIN connector? Example: http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=161-0005virtualkey11180000virtualkey161-0005 .

I guess you’d need some nuts, too. Any ideas?

Thanks. I appreciate it!

I recently used “size No. 6”, used for screw type pcb mounts

here’s the rockby electronics link for a guideline

I think they all look ugly

I always mount those panel mount connectors behind the pannel, so the screws are nicely in a counterbore of the pannel
