Electro Hardware MP1031M06F16M3 Female Hex Standoff M3

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1031M06F16M3 is a female hex circuit board standoff machined from aluminum and designed to create precise spacing between PCBs and mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. This standoff features an M3 x 0.5 metric thread, a 16 mm overall length with a full 16 mm thread depth, and a 6 mm width across flats for standard hex tool engagement. The plain, bright uncoated finish meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 material standards. Electronics assemblers, field service technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install these standoffs wherever secure, repeatable board-to-chassis spacing is required.

This standoff is suited for residential and commercial electronic control assemblies, HVAC control boards, industrial PCB enclosures, and general electronic panel builds. The fully threaded female interior accepts an M3 x 0.5 male fastener from both ends, making it appropriate for stacked PCB configurations or board-to-chassis mounting. Its compact hex body allows installation and removal with standard 6 mm hex drivers or open-end wrenches, even in tight panel layouts.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.5 fully threaded female interior with 16 mm thread depth — accepts fasteners along the full length
• Hex body with 6 mm width across flats for reliable tool engagement without slipping
• Aluminum construction per QQ-A-225A Comp 2 material grade T3 — lightweight and corrosion-resistant
• Plain bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup that could affect thread fit
• 16 mm overall length with a length tolerance of -0.13 to 0.13 mm for consistent stack height
• Metric measurement system — direct drop-in for metric PCB mounting patterns

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for any assembly requiring an M3 x 0.5 female hex aluminum standoff with a 16 mm overall length and 6 mm hex body width.

Installation Notes

Electronics assemblers and field service technicians install this standoff using a 6 mm hex driver or open-end wrench — avoid over-torquing aluminum threads, as they are more susceptible to galling than steel. De-energize all boards and panels completely before servicing any PCB mounting hardware. Verify thread engagement on mating fasteners before applying load to prevent cross-threading the aluminum interior.
