They offer products in various shapes, materials, finishes, sizes, and quantities to meet diverse needs. RAF serves industries such as electronics, aerospace, defense, construction, solar, government, and OEMs. Standoffs are threaded separators with a fixed length, primarily used to create space between assemblies. They are vital in separating components and housings in electronic assemblies, allowing for proper alignment, insulation, and airflow. RAF Electronic Hardware offers a broad selection of spacers and standoffs to support various industry needs.

Swage Standoffs (Round or Hex)
Swage standoffs are used to hold two panels at a specific distance, commonly in circuit board stacking. The swage end is pressed into the panel, leaving the threaded end available for screws or male standoffs. Available in steel, stainless steel, and brass, they come in both metric and standard dimensions.
Double Male-Male Standoffs
These standoffs have male threads on both ends, designed to raise one assembly above another or connect female-threaded components.
Double Female-Female Standoffs
Female-female standoffs, also called threaded spacers, are used to position and space objects like circuit boards or panels. They come in round, hexagonal, or square shapes and may include knurling or swage features. Available in materials such as aluminum, brass, plastic, steel, and stainless steel, they can be fully or partially threaded.
Male-Female Standoffs
Featuring a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, these standoffs are ideal for stacking circuit boards, reducing fasteners, and simplifying assembly.
Male-Male Standoffs
Male-male standoffs have threads on both ends and are used to join female-threaded parts or act as thread adapters. They may have identical or differing threads for versatility.
