Hardware Plastic Standoffs

SPACERS and STANDOFFS

Plastic Motherboard Standoffs: Plastic motherboard standoffs are essential for separating the main circuit board from the metal case, preventing shorts and damage. These nylon standoffs elevate and secure the motherboard, ensuring stability and protecting vital components. Designed for easy installation, these snap-in standoffs are a common choice, originally used in IBM AT systems, and are also known as motherboard spacers.

Plastic Circuit Board Standoffs Circuit board standoffs elevate components like PC boards or turret boards off the chassis. These plastic standoffs, working with screws and nuts, provide secure support for mounting printed circuit boards. Available in various thread sizes and lengths, they are versatile and easy to install by hand.

Plastic PCB Spacers and Standoffs PCB spacers, also known as PCB standoffs, are crucial for securely mounting printed circuit boards in assemblies like computers. The key difference between a standoff and a spacer is that standoffs are threaded on both ends, while spacers are typically unthreaded with an internal clearance hole. Both can be made from materials such as plastic, metal, or nylon and come in various shapes and sizes.

Plastic PCB Standoffs – Metric & Imperial Threaded Hex standoffs are commonly used to create space between objects, often for correct positioning. These plastic standoffs have a female-to-female connection and can be installed by hand without assembly equipment. Threaded standoffs are often made from Black 25% Glass Filled Nylon 6 or Natural Nylon 6/6, with some premium options like Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK), which offers high heat resistance and excellent mechanical strength.

Nylon Unthreaded Spacers/Standoffs These nylon spacers/standoffs are ideal for mounting circuit boards or other devices to a panel. They have an outer diameter of 0.01″ to 0.25″, and are available in 1/32″ or 1/2″ lengths, creating a space between the object and the mounting surface. These unthreaded standoffs are great for securely mounting boards in enclosures or keeping them elevated.

Applications of Stand-off Screw Fasteners Stand-off screw fasteners are versatile, with applications in both residential and commercial settings. They can be used to showcase artwork, highlight posters, hang name plates, make entrance signs more noticeable, and attach frames and signs to various surfaces like tables, counters, and desks.
