Most are 0.150" (spec), but some follow the old spec of 0.210" diameter.

The first one will accept a 6-32 machine screw. Nylon is OK to use for those; if you use metal screws, it's always preferable to use some kind of washer (nylon/cardboard) to make sure that the screw's head (or nut) doesn't short a trace on a mobo (rare, but it occasionally happens).

(edit: old size was 0.210, not 0.0210)
