Electro Hardware MP1029M09F16M3 Female Hex Standoff M3

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1029M09F16M3 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create precise spacing between PCBs, mounting plates, and enclosure panels. Machined from 303 stainless steel with a plain bright finish, it provides corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement in electronics assembly and panel-mount applications. The standoff features an M3 x 0.5 female thread, a 15 mm overall length with full 15 mm thread depth, and a 6 mm hex body that accepts a standard hex driver or wrench for secure installation without slipping. Licensed electronics assemblers, electrical panel builders, and PCB enclosure fabricators are the typical installers.

This standoff is suited for metric circuit board assemblies requiring accurate board-to-board or board-to-chassis spacing. The fully threaded interior accepts M3 x 0.5 machine screws from both ends, making it appropriate for stacked PCB configurations, DIN rail enclosures, control panels, and instrumentation housings. Its stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments where mild corrosion resistance is required, such as outdoor enclosures or humid industrial settings. The hex profile allows repeatable torque application during assembly line or field service work.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.5 fully threaded female interior with 15 mm full thread depth
• 15 mm overall length for precise PCB standoff spacing
• 6 mm hex body width for wrench or hex driver installation
• 303 stainless steel construction with plain bright finish
• Meets QQ-S-763 fastener standard for stainless steel hardware
• Metric dimensioning for use in M3 circuit board assembly applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric standoff for circuit board assemblies and panel enclosures using M3 x 0.5 machine screws.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics assemblers and electrical panel fabricators. Power down and de-energize all boards and enclosures before installing or removing standoffs. Use a hex driver or open-end wrench sized to 6 mm across flats to seat the standoff without over-torquing the threaded body. Avoid cross-threading by starting M3 screws by hand before applying tool torque.
