Electro Hardware 1427M06F16-832 Hex Standoff 8-32 Aluminum

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 1427M06F16-832 is a male-female hex circuit board standoff designed to space and mount printed circuit boards within electronic enclosures, control panels, and electrical assemblies. Machined from aluminum alloy to material grade T-3 with an anodized finish, it meets the QQ-A-225A Comp 2 fastener standard. The standoff measures 0.625 inches overall length with a 1/4-inch hex body across flats, a 3/8-inch thread length on the male end, and a 7/16-inch thread depth on the female end. The 8-32 unified coarse thread is the industry-standard size for PCB mounting hardware. Electricians, panel builders, and electronics technicians use this hardware in control board assemblies across HVAC, industrial, and low-voltage electrical applications.

This standoff is suited for residential and commercial control panel builds, PCB rack assemblies, and any application requiring secure board-to-chassis or board-to-board spacing. The male-female configuration allows standoffs to be stacked or used as a single-level spacer. Its compact 1/4-inch hex body width makes it appropriate for densely populated board layouts. Installers working on HVAC control boards, variable frequency drive enclosures, and similar equipment commonly specify this hardware for organized, vibration-resistant PCB mounting.

Key Features

• Male-female hex configuration allows stacking and single-level PCB spacing
• 8-32 unified coarse thread on both male and female ends
• Aluminum construction with anodized finish for corrosion resistance and electrical isolation surface
• Meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 fastener standard
• Tight length tolerance of plus or minus 0.005 inches for consistent board standoff height
• Hex body shape allows wrench engagement for secure installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 male-female hex standoff for use in PCB mounting applications where a 0.625-inch overall length and 1/4-inch hex body width are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, panel builders, and electronics technicians using standard hex drivers or nut drivers sized for 1/4-inch across flats. De-energize all circuits and discharge any capacitors before working inside control panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten; aluminum threads are susceptible to galling and cross-threading. When stacking multiple standoffs, verify total board height and clearance before final assembly.
