Electro Hardware 1306M19F16256 Hex Nylon Standoff 2-56

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 1306M19F16256 is a male-female hex circuit board standoff machined from nylon and designed for use in printed circuit board assemblies. It provides a threaded male post on one end and a threaded female receptacle on the other, allowing boards to be stacked or mounted at a fixed, consistent distance from a chassis or adjacent board. The body measures 0.2813 inches in overall length with a 3/16-inch hex width across flats, making it well suited for compact PCB layouts where clearance and spacing tolerances are tight. This standoff meets MIL-P-17091B requirements and carries a tensile strength rating of 16500 psi.

This standoff is used in electronic equipment assemblies where non-conductive, lightweight spacers are required between circuit boards and mounting surfaces. Typical applications include control board mounting in HVAC units, electrical panels, industrial controls, and other enclosures where electrical isolation between the fastener and board is a priority. Its nylon construction eliminates galvanic corrosion concerns common with metal standoffs in mixed-metal environments. Licensed electricians and electronics technicians are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Male-female hex configuration for board stacking or chassis mounting
• Nylon construction provides electrical isolation and corrosion resistance
• Meets MIL-P-17091B fastener standard
• Tensile strength of 16500 psi for reliable mechanical retention
• Bright uncoated finish with no added plating or coating that could affect tolerances
• Compact 9/32-inch body length fits tight PCB clearance requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a 2-56 threaded nylon hex standoff conforming to MIL-P-17091B. Compatible with any PCB or chassis mounting application using 2-56 thread hardware.

Installation Notes

Always power down and discharge any capacitors in the circuit board assembly before removing or installing standoffs. Use the correct hex driver or wrench sized to 3/16 inch across flats to avoid rounding the nylon hex body. Do not overtighten — nylon threads can strip or crack under excessive torque. Follow applicable assembly drawings and any governing standards for the enclosure or panel being serviced.
