Electro Hardware MP1015M19F16M3 Female Hex Standoff M3

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1015M19F16M3 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs, panels, and chassis components in electronic assemblies. Machined from nylon with a plain (bright/uncoated) finish, this standoff features a fully threaded M3 x 0.5 female thread with an 8 mm thread depth and an overall length of 8 mm. The hexagonal body measures 6 mm across flats, allowing installation and removal with standard hex tooling. Manufactured to MIL-P-17091B, it suits applications where dimensional consistency and non-conductive spacing are required. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and PCB assembly professionals commonly install these standoffs during board mounting and chassis builds.

This standoff is suited for use in residential and commercial electronic enclosures, control panels, and circuit board assemblies where non-metallic, electrically isolating hardware is specified. The nylon construction makes it appropriate for environments where metal hardware could cause unintended conductivity or galvanic corrosion concerns. Its compact 8 mm profile fits tight board stacking configurations common in HVAC control boards, low-voltage panels, and instrumentation enclosures. The M3 x 0.5 thread size is a standard metric fastener dimension widely used in light-duty PCB mounting applications.

Key Features

• Fully threaded female M3 x 0.5 thread with 8 mm full thread depth for secure board engagement
• Nylon construction provides electrical isolation between mounted boards and chassis
• Hexagonal body profile (6 mm across flats) allows wrench or socket installation
• Meets MIL-P-17091B fastener standard for dimensional and material compliance
• Tensile strength of 16,500 psi supports consistent clamping in light-duty assemblies
• Plain uncoated finish suitable for indoor, controlled-environment installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for circuit board mounting applications requiring M3 x 0.5 female hex nylon hardware conforming to MIL-P-17091B.

Installation Notes

Power down and de-energize all circuits before installing or replacing circuit board standoffs in any control panel or electronic enclosure. Use a 6 mm hex wrench or appropriately sized socket to seat the standoff without overtightening, as nylon hardware is susceptible to thread stripping under excessive torque. Verify thread engagement depth and board alignment before completing final assembly. Installation should be performed by qualified electronics technicians or licensed electricians in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
