Electro Hardware MP1011M19F16M3 Female Hex Standoff M3

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1011M19F16M3 is a fully threaded female hex circuit board standoff designed to create precise spacing between PCBs and mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. Machined from nylon with a plain, uncoated finish, this standoff accepts an M3 x 0.5 thread and delivers a full 6 mm of thread engagement across its entire 6 mm overall length. The hexagonal body measures 6 mm across flats, allowing standard hex drivers to seat and torque the fastener without slipping. With a tensile strength of 16,500 psi, the nylon construction provides adequate mechanical retention while remaining electrically non-conductive and lightweight. Electronics assemblers, PCB technicians, and field service engineers install these standoffs during board mounting operations in both production and repair environments.

This standoff is suited for metric circuit board assemblies requiring non-conductive, corrosion-resistant hardware. Typical applications include securing PCBs inside control enclosures, HVAC control boards, industrial panels, and consumer electronics chassis where metal standoffs would introduce grounding or clearance concerns. The M3 x 0.5 thread size is common across a wide range of metric board-mount hardware, making this part a practical fit for both OEM production and aftermarket repair work. The plain finish keeps costs low for high-volume board assembly and is compatible with most standard mounting hole patterns in metric-dimensioned PCBs.

Key Features

• Fully threaded female M3 x 0.5 internal thread with 6 mm thread depth for full engagement
• Nylon construction provides electrical non-conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Hexagonal body, 6 mm across flats, compatible with standard hex tools and nut drivers
• Tensile strength of 16,500 psi for reliable mechanical retention in light-duty PCB mount applications
• MIL-P-17091B fastener standard compliance for quality assurance in demanding assemblies
• Compact 6 mm overall length suits tight board-to-surface spacing requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric board standoff for PCB assemblies using M3 x 0.5 threaded fasteners and standard hex-body mounting configurations.

Installation Notes

Electronic assembly technicians install these standoffs by hand-threading or using a hex driver sized for a 6 mm across-flats profile. Always de-energize and discharge the circuit board assembly before installing or removing standoffs. Avoid overtightening nylon hardware, as excessive torque can strip the threads or crack the body. Follow applicable IPC assembly standards for PCB mounting hardware torque and spacing guidelines.
