Electro Hardware 1309M09F16256 Hex Standoff 2-56 3/8 in

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 1309M09F16256 is a male-female hex circuit board standoff designed to mount and space printed circuit boards within electronic enclosures and assemblies. Machined from 303 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this standoff meets QQ-S-763 federal specification for stainless steel fasteners. The body measures 0.375 inches in overall length with a hex body shape measuring 0.1875 inches (3/16 inch) across flats. The male end features a 2-56 threaded stud and the female end accepts a 2-56 threaded fastener, allowing boards to be stacked or secured to a chassis with a clean, rigid connection. Electronics assemblers, PCB technicians, and field service techs working on control boards install this type of standoff regularly.

This standoff is suited for residential and commercial control board assemblies, instrument panels, HVAC control modules, and any application requiring secure PCB spacing on a 2-56 thread pattern. The compact hex profile allows installation with standard hex drivers or pliers in tight board layouts. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a factor, such as outdoor enclosures or high-humidity equipment cabinets.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics assemblers or field technicians servicing control boards. Always power down and de-energize the equipment before removing or installing circuit board standoffs. A hex driver or small pliers sized for 3/16 inch across flats is the appropriate tool. Avoid overtightening, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive torque is applied without lubrication.
