neutral Tony M: I'm not so sure, FX; 'tête cylindrique' more properly translates 'cheese-head', 'pan head' is slightly different

Vis cruciforme à tête cylindrique bombée

Explanation:
Compare text on pp. 3 and 14 of this doc:
http://www.qscaudio.com/pdfs/manuals/ads52_multi_manual.pdf

M4 x 1.4 x 15 mm long pan head Phillips screw

Vis cruciforme longue à tête cylindrique bombée M4 x 1.4 x 15 mm


And I wouldn't translate 7/8" as 2,22 cm - leave it in inches.

neutral Tony M: I deprecate the use of 'cruciforme' to translate 'Phillips', since there is more than one type of cross-head screw, so one really ought to use the proper designation; also note that 'tête cyl. bombée' describes a slightly different type of head form

Explanation:
Note that a pan-head screw is not the same as a cheese-head screw; here is a page that illustrates both types, I hope it may help someone find the correct translation:

This really useful FR site gives a very comprehsnive listing of head forms, with good illustrations:

http://www.tracepartsonline.net/(u00r4q55m4k1ap3fu13u4aip)/global/parts.aspx?tp=2&st=0&clsid=%2FROOT%2FC21%2FC21.060%2FC21.060.010%2F&page=8&ttl=Boulons%2C+vis%2C+goujons&rcrds=429&sa=0

The type I am familiar with as 'pan-head' is variously referred to as 'tête bombée' (http://www.tracepartsonline.net/(u00r4q55m4k1ap3fu13u4aip)/global/part.aspx?PartID=10-10052001-169449)

and 'tête cylindrique à dépouille' (http://www.tracepartsonline.net/(u00r4q55m4k1ap3fu13u4aip)/global/part.aspx?PartID=10-23062004-068713)

And here is one type of 'tête cylindrique' that shows it is quite different from a 'pan-head':

Also please note that 7/8" / 22 mm refers to the LENGTH of the screw, and not its diameter!

Oops, watch out, it looks as though those links won't work directly as they stand, you might have to copy & paste them into your browser to arrive at the right page.

There is a subtlety here in the shape of the head: a pan-head screw, properly speaking, is a cylindrical-shaped head (just like a cheese-head), but with the top edge radiussed off (to a greater or lesser extent) — this is subtly different from the 'tête cylindrique bombée' form as I have found it illustrated, where the top of the scre-head is actually not flat, but domed; in EN, this turns it into a mushroom-head screw.

I note from Webster's that this latter is also referred to as a fillister-head screw

This page clearly illustrates what I am familiar with as a 'pan-head' screw:

This PDF file finally gives a quadri-lingual version tying the two terms together:

http://www.vanptc.com/images/medialibrary/CGUPMPAX_8_21_06_....

It's quite hard to find, but look at the screw item P in the 4-language parts list in the frame on the bottom right-hand side of p1

So, finally, 'tête cylindrique à dépouille'
