Electro Hardware MP1023M19F16M3 Female Hex Standoff M3

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1023M19F16M3 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs, mounting plates, and enclosure panels. This fully threaded nylon standoff accepts M3 x 0.5 fasteners and provides 12 mm of thread depth across its full body length. The hex body measures 6 mm across the flats, allowing standard hex tooling for installation and removal. Built from nylon with a plain, uncoated finish, it is well suited for applications where electrical isolation and lightweight construction are priorities. Electronic assembly technicians and PCB fabricators are the primary installers of this hardware.

This standoff is used in residential and commercial electronic assemblies where non-conductive spacing hardware is required. Common applications include PCB stacking in control boards, HVAC electronic modules, electrical enclosures, and automation panels. The metric M3 x 0.5 thread size and 12 mm overall length make it a fit for compact PCB mounting scenarios where consistent board-to-board or board-to-chassis clearance must be maintained. It meets MIL-P-17091B standards, making it appropriate for builds requiring documented material compliance.

Key Features

• Fully threaded female hex body - 12 mm thread depth accommodates full fastener engagement
• M3 x 0.5 thread size in metric measurement system for international hardware compatibility
• Nylon construction provides electrical isolation and corrosion resistance
• 6 mm width across flats allows standard hex driver or wrench installation
• Meets MIL-P-17091B standard for nylon plastic material compliance
• Tensile strength of 16,500 psi supports structural integrity in stacked PCB assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for PCB assemblies and electronic enclosures requiring M3 x 0.5 female hex hardware with a 12 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Electronic assembly technicians typically install these standoffs during PCB mounting or enclosure assembly. Power down and de-energize all circuits before working inside any control panel or electronic enclosure. A standard hex driver or wrench sized for 6 mm across flats is appropriate for installation. Avoid overtightening nylon hardware, as the material has lower torque tolerance than metal standoffs and can crack or strip threads under excessive force.
