Effective or Pitch diameter.
On a parallel thread it is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder which would pass through the threads at such a point that both male and female thread were the same width. This point is usually but not always 1/2 the thread depth. It is only at 1/2 depth when the root & crest radii are the same.
This is a tool that is used to measure the pitch diameter of a screw. This tool looks like a standard micrometer except that the anvils are specially configured to reach into the screw thread groove and touch the pitch diameter of the screw thread. The screw thread micrometer does not measure any other aspect of the screw thread. It does not measure the: pitch; threads-per-inch; major diameter; minor diameter; flank angles; lead; helix angle.
the minor diameter should be between 4.917mm and 5.153 mm, so the largest allowable size is 5.153mm
it is what allows the screw to grip into the material its being screwed into. a screw without a thread is a nail
when a spiral groove is cut over a hole, then it is nut thread. when a spiral groove is cut over a shaft, then it is screw thread.
The major diameter is the diameter of the crest of the thread. Use a Vernier gage and mesure the diameter of the crest points of contact ( maximum external thread diameter). Unified National thread series defines the expected major diamter and tolerance. For internal threads ( nuts) the major diameter is the diameter of the roots of the thread.
the difference between the min and max effective of your two threads will tell you if there going to clash on assembly

It refers to the diameter of the screw. More precisely, it is a 0.138" diameter screw. You can get it in with various head style and thread pitch.

The angle of a thread of a screw is an angle between the threads and it is the defining factor for the shape of the screw thread.
when lead of the screw is equal to the pitch it is called single threaded screw

A thread may be either right-hand or left-hand. A right-hand thread on an external member advances into an internal thread when turned clockwise; a left-hand thread advances when turned counterclockwise. If a single helical groove is cut or formed on a cylinder, it is called a single-thread screw. Should the helix angle be increased sufficiently for a second thread to be cut between the grooves of the first thread, a double thread will be formed on the screw. Double, triple, and even quadruple threads are used whenever a rapid advance is desired, as on valves.Pitch and major diameter designate a thread. Lead is the distance advanced parallel to the axis when the screw is turned one revolution. For a single thread, lead is equal to the pitch; for a double thread, lead is twice the pitch. For a straight thread, the pitch diameter is the diameter of an imaginary coaxial cylinder that would cut the thread forms at a height where the width of the thread and groove would be equal.Thread forms have been developed to satisfy particular requirements. Where strength is required for the transmission of power and motion, a thread having faces that are more nearly perpendicular to the axis is preferred. These threads, with their strong thread sections, transmit power nearly parallel to the axis of the screw.
