Electro Hardware 1431M06F16-632 Hex Standoff 6-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 1431M06F16-632 is a male-female hex circuit board standoff designed to create precise spacing between PCBs and mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. Machined from aluminum alloy grade T3 with an anodized finish, this standoff meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 material standards. It features a 6-32 threaded male post on one end and a 6-32 threaded female receiver on the other, with a 1/4-inch hex body that allows installation and removal with a standard nut driver or hex wrench. Overall length is 0.625 inches, with a body length of 0.375 inches and a thread length of 0.25 inches. Electronics assemblers, board-level technicians, and industrial electricians use this standoff for stacking or mounting printed circuit boards in control panels and enclosures.

This standoff is suited for use in commercial and industrial electronic assemblies where precise board-to-board or board-to-chassis spacing is required. Typical applications include control panel builds, HVAC control board mounting, and enclosure wiring assemblies where a secure, threaded connection between stacked PCBs or a PCB and a chassis surface is needed. The anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and provides electrical isolation appropriate for light-duty electronics environments. The hex body profile enables positive torque without slippage during installation.

Key Features

• Male-female hex configuration accepts 6-32 threaded fasteners on both ends
• Aluminum T3 alloy construction with anodized finish meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 standard
• 0.625 inch overall length with 0.375 inch hex body and 0.25 inch thread length
• 1/4 inch width across flats fits standard nut drivers and hex wrenches
• Length tolerance of -0.005 to 0.005 inches for consistent board spacing
• Hex body shape prevents rotation during torquing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for circuit board assemblies using 6-32 inch-series threaded fasteners in standard hex standoff configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electronics technicians or electricians during control board assembly or enclosure wiring. De-energize all equipment and discharge any stored charge before handling circuit boards or standoffs. Use a correctly sized nut driver matching the 1/4 inch hex body to avoid rounding the flats. Do not over-torque the male post into the mating female threads, as aluminum threads can strip under excessive force.
