Electro Hardware 1361M03F21256 Hex Standoff 2-56 2in

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 1361M03F21256 is a male-female hex circuit board standoff designed to create precise spacing between stacked PCBs or between a circuit board and a mounting surface. The hex body measures 3/16 inches across flats and provides a secure grip point for installation and removal with a wrench or hex driver. The standoff is machined from brass with a zinc-plated finish that meets ASTM B633 Type 1 and QQ-B-626 Comp 22 standards, making it suitable for electronics assemblies where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are required. It ships individually and is sold in single-piece quantities.

This standoff is used in PCB mounting applications across industrial controls, HVAC control boards, electrical enclosures, and electronic equipment assemblies. The male thread on one end engages an existing tapped hole or nut while the female thread on the opposite end accepts the next fastener or standoff in a stacked configuration. The 2-inch overall body length is well suited for applications requiring moderate board separation, such as multi-board control panel assemblies or retrofit installations where clearance around components is needed.

Key Features

• Male-female configuration allows board stacking and PCB-to-panel mounting in a single fastener
• Hex body shape at 3/16 inches across flats enables wrench or hex driver installation
• Brass construction with zinc-plated finish meets ASTM B633 Type 1 and QQ-B-626 Comp 22 standards
• 2-inch overall body length with a length tolerance of -0.005 to 0.005 inches for precise spacing
• Thread size 2-56 with 5/32 inch thread length on the male end and 3/16 inch thread depth on the female end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener for circuit board mounting applications using 2-56 threaded hardware in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics technicians or electricians during PCB assembly or control board service. Power down all circuits and discharge any capacitors before working on live control boards. Use an appropriately sized hex wrench or nut driver matched to the 3/16-inch across-flats dimension to avoid rounding the hex body. Do not overtighten, as brass standoffs can strip or crack under excessive torque.
