Key PCB Hardware Components:

PCB Standoffs and Spacers: Standoffs are threaded on both ends, while spacers are unthreaded. Both maintain space and positioning, but threaded standoffs provide additional security.
Materials: Options include plastic (Nylon) for cost-effectiveness and corrosion resistance, metal for durability, and ceramic for high-temperature applications.
Card Guides: These mount PCBs in tight spaces, with vertical or horizontal options to prevent bending and enhance stability.
Card Ejectors and Pullers: Assist in removing PCBs from confined spaces, reducing stress on circuitry.
PCB Mounting Blocks: Facilitate electrical and mechanical connections, ideal for mounting PCBs at right angles.
Fuse Covers: Protect fuses from contamination and liquids.
PCB Fan Accessories: Include gaskets, guards, mounts, rivets, and filters for effective heat management and protection.
LED Mounting Hardware: Consists of spacer mounts, lens holders, and light pipes for positioning LEDs and improving visual performance.
PCB Grommets: Secure and fasten PCBs, while transistor insulators manage heat dissipation efficiently.

Richco recommends trying samples before purchasing and offers free CADs for design assistance. The product range includes various supports, mounts, and fasteners, including nylon components that are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective.
