The "0" is the machine screw number, the "80" is 80 threads per inch,
the last number is the length. Check this chart, it appears you need
either a 0-80 or 00-90:

Of course, if the lighter is imported you might need a metric size...

Will do.

How does one name these small screws? I mean there appears to be a
system for them ie:
0-80 x 9/16
or
4-40x7/8

what is the "0-80" ?
