Electro Hardware MP1019M19F16M3 Female Hex Standoff M3

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1019M19F16M3 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs or between a board and a chassis surface. Machined from nylon with a plain uncoated finish, this standoff features a fully threaded M3 x 0.5 female thread running the full 10 mm body length, providing consistent thread engagement throughout. The hexagonal body measures 6 mm across flats, allowing installation and removal with standard hex drivers or wrenches. With a tensile strength of 16,500 psi, the nylon construction offers adequate mechanical strength while providing electrical isolation between the board and mounting surface. This fastener is manufactured to MIL-P-17091B standards. Electronics assemblers, PCB technicians, and electrical panel builders are the typical installers.

This standoff is suited for use in residential and commercial electronics assembly, control panel fabrication, and OEM circuit board mounting applications. It is appropriate wherever M3 metric threaded, electrically isolating board spacers are required. The 10 mm overall length and 6 mm hex body make it compatible with standard PCB mounting configurations where short to medium standoff heights are needed. Its nylon composition makes it particularly useful in assemblies where metal standoffs would create unwanted electrical continuity or add unnecessary weight.

Key Features

• Fully threaded M3 x 0.5 female thread with 10 mm full-depth thread engagement
• Nylon construction provides electrical isolation and corrosion resistance
• Hexagonal body at 6 mm across flats for standard tool installation
• Manufactured to MIL-P-17091B fastener standard
• Plain uncoated finish suitable for general electronics and panel assembly
• Length tolerance of -0.13 mm to 0.13 mm for consistent stack height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric standoff for circuit board assemblies requiring M3 x 0.5 female-threaded hex spacers with a 10 mm standoff height.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electronics assemblers or electricians during PCB mounting or control panel build-out. De-energize all equipment fully before working on any board assembly. Use a hex driver or open-end wrench sized to 6 mm across flats to seat the standoff without over-torquing the nylon body, as nylon threads can strip under excessive force. Follow applicable assembly drawings and any relevant IPC standards for PCB mounting hardware.
