Electro Hardware 1483M12F21-832 Hex Standoff 8-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 1483M12F21-832 is a male-female hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs and mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. Machined from steel with a zinc-plated finish meeting ASTM B633 Type 1 and QQ-S-633 standards, this standoff provides corrosion resistance alongside reliable mechanical support. It measures 2.375 inches overall length with a 2-inch body length and a 1/4-inch hex width across flats. The male end and female threaded end both accept 8-32 fasteners, allowing boards to be stacked or mounted in sequence. Electronics assembly technicians, field service engineers, and panel builders use this type of hardware in control panels, HVAC boards, and industrial enclosures.

This standoff is suited for residential and light commercial control board assemblies, industrial panel fabrication, and electronic enclosure builds where a precise, repeatable 2-3/8-inch standoff height is required. The 8-32 thread is one of the most common thread sizes in North American PCB and enclosure hardware, making this standoff a practical fit for standard chassis and board-mount applications across HVAC control boards, electrical panels, and similar assemblies.

Key Features

• Male-female configuration accepts 8-32 fasteners on both ends for stackable or single-level board mounting
• 2.375-inch overall length with 2-inch hex body for consistent, measurable standoff height
• 1/4-inch hex width across flats allows standard nut driver or hex socket installation
• Steel construction with zinc plating meets ASTM B633 Type 1 and QQ-S-633 corrosion resistance standards
• 7/16-inch female thread depth and 3/8-inch male thread length provide adequate thread engagement for secure fastening
• Length tolerance of -0.005 to +0.005 inches ensures consistent stacking height in precision assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 male-female hex standoff for use in PCB mounting, control board assemblies, and electronic enclosures requiring a 2-3/8-inch standoff height with 1/4-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/4-inch nut driver or appropriately sized hex socket to avoid rounding the hex body. Always de-energize and discharge any control board or panel before servicing or replacing standoffs. Verify thread engagement on both the male and female ends before torquing down mating fasteners to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for panel reassembly after hardware replacement.
