Electro Hardware MP1011M06F16M3 Hex Standoff M3x0.5 6mm

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1011M06F16M3 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create precise spacing between PCBs and mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. Machined from aluminum alloy to material grade T3 and finished with a bright, uncoated plain surface, this standoff accepts an M3 x 0.5 threaded fastener with a fully threaded interior running the full 6 mm thread depth. The hexagonal body measures 6 mm across flats, providing a secure grip point for installation and removal with standard tooling. At 6 mm overall length, it suits compact PCB stacking applications where controlled board separation and electrical isolation are required. Electronics assembly technicians, OEM builders, and field service professionals working with control boards install this type of hardware.

This standoff is suited for metric-threaded PCB mounting applications in residential and commercial electronic control assemblies, industrial automation enclosures, and HVAC or electrical control board assemblies. The M3 x 0.5 thread size is a common metric standard in compact control board designs. Its aluminum construction keeps weight low while providing adequate mechanical rigidity for typical board-mounting loads. Plain finish leaves the aluminum uncoated, making it appropriate for environments where coating buildup or outgassing is a concern.

Key Features

• Female M3 x 0.5 fully threaded interior with 6 mm thread depth for secure fastener engagement
• Hexagonal body profile, 6 mm width across flats, compatible with standard hex drivers and wrenches
• 6 mm overall length provides controlled PCB-to-surface spacing in compact assemblies
• Aluminum construction, material grade T3, offers a lightweight and corrosion-resistant option
• Plain bright finish, uncoated, meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 fastener standard
• Metric measurement system for compatibility with M3-threaded hardware throughout the assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for circuit board assemblies using M3 x 0.5 metric-threaded fasteners and requiring 6 mm board separation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics assembly technicians or qualified trades workers handling control board service. Power down and de-energize all circuits before removing or installing circuit board hardware. Use a hex driver or wrench sized to 6 mm across flats to seat the standoff without over-torquing, which can strip the aluminum threads. Ensure mating fasteners are M3 x 0.5 thread pitch to avoid cross-threading.
