Screws with a diameter of 8/32 of an inch and a thread pitch of 32 threads per inch are commonly used in the United States. They are considered to be a medium-sized screw and are often used in applications where a balance between strength and ease of installation is desired. Some common applications for 8-32 screws include electronics, automotive, and furniture manufacturing.

Unlike the popular view of a Line of Sight which a clear unobstructed clear straight line. Radio frequency line of sight is defined by Fresnel Zones which are ellipse shaped areas between any two radios. The primary Fresnel zone is required to be at least 60% clear of any obstruction to ensure the highest performance of wireless link.

The radius of the Fresnel Zone at its widest point can be calculated by the formula listed below, where d is the link distance in Kilometers, f is the frequency in GHz, and r is the radius off of the center line of the link in feet. For further information on this formula, please review the figure below.

8-32 is a designation for a screw with a diameter of 5/32 of an inch and a thread pitch of 32 threads per inch. The first number in the screw size, "8", indicates the diameter of the screw. The second number, "32", indicates the thread pitch of the screw, which is the distance between threads on the screw.
