Electro Hardware 1459M12F21-1032 Hex Board Standoff 10-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 1459M12F21-1032 is a male-female hex circuit board standoff designed to create a fixed separation between PCBs, chassis panels, and other mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. It features a 10-32 threaded male post on one end and a 10-32 threaded female receptacle on the other, allowing standoffs to be stacked or used as a single-height spacer. The hex body measures 0.25 inches across flats, making it wrench-accessible for torque-controlled installation. Overall length is 1.625 inches with a body length of 1.25 inches. Constructed from steel with a zinc-plated finish meeting ASTM B633 Type 1 and QQ-S-633 standards, this standoff is built for reliable use in both commercial and industrial electronic enclosures.

This standoff is suited for circuit board mounting applications in control panels, HVAC control boards, industrial automation enclosures, and other electronic assemblies where a precise, rigid PCB standoff height is required. The male-female configuration supports single-board installations as well as stacked multi-board assemblies. It is commonly installed by electronics assemblers, OEM equipment technicians, and field service technicians working on control system boards in commercial and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• Male 10-32 threaded post with female 10-32 threaded receptacle for stackable or single-height PCB mounting
• Overall length of 1.625 inches with a body length of 1.25 inches and thread depth of 0.5 inches
• Hex body at 0.25 inches across flats for standard wrench installation
• Steel construction with zinc-plated finish meeting ASTM B633 Type 1 and QQ-S-633 standards
• Thread length of 0.375 inches on the male post end
• Length tolerance held to plus or minus 0.005 inches for consistent stacking height

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series male-female hex standoff for 10-32 threaded circuit board mounting applications in electronic enclosures and control panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics technicians or field service personnel working on control boards and electronic assemblies. Power down and de-energize all equipment before servicing any circuit board or control enclosure. The hex body accepts a standard open-end or combination wrench for secure, torque-controlled tightening. Do not over-tighten, as this can stress PCB mounting holes or damage plating.
