Electro Hardware MMX1415M12-MSC Hex Standoff M3x0.5 10mm

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MMX1415M12-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 an M3 x 0.5 thread on both ends, a 10 mm overall length, and a hexagonal body with a 5 mm width across flats for wrench engagement. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish conforming to QQ-S-633, this standoff provides reliable corrosion resistance in controlled environments. Electronics technicians, panel builders, and electrical assemblers install these fasteners during board-level assembly work.

This standoff is suited for metric-threaded circuit board mounting applications in light industrial, commercial, and residential control panels. The male-male thread configuration allows it to thread directly into a tapped hole or mating female standoff on one end while accepting a nut or mating component on the other. The hex body geometry allows installation and removal with a standard wrench or hex socket, making it practical in tight PCB layouts where finger-tightening is not feasible.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.5 male threads on both ends for metric board-level mounting
• 10 mm overall body length with thread lengths of 5 mm and 6 mm on respective ends
• Hex body profile at 5 mm width across flats allows wrench or socket installation
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc plating per QQ-S-633 for corrosion resistance
• Metric system of measurement for compatibility with metric-threaded PCB hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener for metric M3 x 0.5 threaded circuit board standoff applications in electronic control assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics technicians or panel assemblers during board mounting. Power down and de-energize the assembly completely before installing or removing standoffs near live circuit boards. Use an appropriately sized wrench or hex socket matching the 5 mm width across flats to avoid rounding the hex body. Follow applicable electrical assembly standards and handle zinc-plated fasteners with care to avoid finish damage that could reduce corrosion protection.
