Standoffs are a modest fastener element, defined as a threaded separator of a specific length used to raise one assembly above another. These components are usually round or hex-shaped to enable wrench-tightening, and they are often made using aluminum, brass, or nylon. Located in Canton, MA, Electronic Fasteners has a fully-stocked inventory of these fastener elements, including:
- Knurled standoffs
- Female standoffs
- Round or hex standoffs
- Male standoffs
- And much more
In electronics, standoffs, are frequently used to raise a printed-circuit board above a surface. They are ideal fasteners for keeping printed circuit boards both stationary and elevated away from surfaces, such as the interior of a computer chassis. These components can also be used as insulation to keep two parts from touching each other to prevent electrical shorts. When used to fasten cable connectors such as “D” connectors together, they are called “jack screws.”
Standoffs can come in multiple configurations. These include male/female, male/male, and female/female. Female ends can accept a screw or a bolt, while male ends can be screwed into a hole.
