I am looking for nice button socket screws for Hammond 1455 aluminum enclosures. So far I use 3.5mm self tapping screws for metal. This works, but self tapping screws are usually with ugly heads.
Hammond datasheet say #6 screws, so I find thees nice black 6-32 screws:

So, my question are:
1. are thees 6-32 the same #6 ?
2. Can I use thees screws as self tapping in aluminum Hammond, or I need special tapping tool?
3. And last - hex socket size is 5/64, I calculate, this is 1.953mm. Can metric 2mm key fit? Anyone trying in real life?
