Spacers and Standoffs
Achieving precise component spacing is critical for optimal performance in countless applications, from intricate electronics to robust machinery. Our comprehensive range of spacers and standoffs provides the ideal solutions for creating accurate separations and secure mountings. We offer a diverse selection of threaded hex standoffs, nylon spacers, and bushed standoffs, catering to the specific needs of engineers, designers, and hobbyists alike.
Our threaded hex standoffs are meticulously engineered to provide reliable spacing and secure connections. Available in male-male, male-female, and female-female configurations, these standoffs offer versatility for a wide array of assembly requirements. Choose from durable brass, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, or electrically insulating nylon, depending on your project's demands. These standoffs are essential for creating organized and functional electronic enclosures, mounting circuit boards, and ensuring proper alignment in mechanical systems.
For applications requiring lightweight, non-conductive spacing, our nylon spacers and bushed standoffs are the perfect choice. Nylon's inherent insulating properties make it ideal for preventing electrical shorts and reducing noise. Our nylon spacers are available in both black and white, offering aesthetic flexibility alongside practical functionality. Nylon bushed standoffs combine the strength of metal with the insulating benefits of nylon, providing a robust and reliable solution for demanding environments.
What are the primary applications of threaded hex standoffs?
Threaded hex standoffs are widely used in electronics for mounting circuit boards, in mechanical assemblies for creating precise spacing, and in various industrial applications for component alignment. They commonly have metric threads, allowin them to be used with metric threaded insetrs, nuts and washers.
How do I select the appropriate material for my standoff?
The material selection depends on the application's requirements. Brass offers excellent conductivity, stainless steel provides corrosion resistance, and nylon delivers electrical insulation.
Simplified Decision-Making:
- For electrical insulation: Nylon
- For high strength and extreme corrosion resistance: Stainless Steel
- For excellent conductivity: Nickel Plated Brass
- For lightweight applications: Aluminum
- For general purpose, with good corrosion protection: Zinc Plated Steel
What is the difference between a spacer and a standoff?
While both create space, standoffs typically have threaded ends for mounting components, whereas spacers are generally unthreaded and used for simple spacing.
We specialize in producing custom variants of our standard parts. We understand that every project has unique requirements. That's why we offer custom manufacturing capabilities to create spacers and standoffs that perfectly match your specifications. If you need a specific size, material, or thread configuration, please contact us for a personalized quote.
