Electro Hardware MM1417M09-MSC Hex Standoff 6-32 3/8in

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MM1417M09-MSC is a male-male hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs, panels, or mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. It features a 6-32 threaded configuration on both ends, an overall length of 0.375 inches, and a hex body shape that accepts a standard wrench or nut driver for secure installation. Constructed from grade 18-8 303 stainless steel with a passivated finish, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding enclosure environments. Electronics assemblers, panel builders, and field technicians working on control boards and instrumentation panels are the typical installers of this fastener.

This standoff is suited for use in residential and commercial electronic control assemblies, HVAC circuit board mounting, industrial enclosures, and instrumentation panels where a rigid, threaded male-to-male connection between two boards or a board and a chassis is required. The 0.25-inch width across flats and 0.375-inch body length make it appropriate for compact PCB stack applications where clearance is limited. It meets the QQ-S-763 fastener standard, which specifies material and finish requirements for stainless steel fasteners used in a variety of control and electronics applications.

Key Features

• Male-male 6-32 thread on both ends for direct board-to-board or board-to-chassis mounting
• Grade 18-8 303 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in enclosure environments
• Passivated finish per QQ-S-763 fastener standard
• Hex body shape accommodates standard nut driver or wrench installation
• Compact 0.375-inch overall length suits tight PCB spacing requirements
• Length tolerance of -0.005 to 0.005 inches for consistent stack height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use standoff for circuit board assemblies requiring 6-32 male-male hex fasteners with a 3/8-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics technicians or panel builders using a standard nut driver sized for a 0.25-inch hex flat. De-energize all circuits and discharge any stored capacitance before working on a control board assembly. Use care not to overtighten, as excessive torque on stainless fasteners in tapped holes can cause galling. Follow applicable assembly specifications for thread engagement depth and standoff alignment.
