Electro Hardware MP1031M06F16M4 Female Hex Standoff M4

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1031M06F16M4 is a female hex circuit board standoff machined from aluminum and designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs or between a circuit board and a mounting surface. The standoff features M4 x 0.7 fully threaded construction with a 16 mm overall length and a 16 mm thread depth, meaning the full body length is usable thread. The 6 mm hex width across flats allows standard hex drivers or nutrunners to torque the standoff without slipping. Produced to QQ-A-225A Comp 2 material specification and left with a plain uncoated bright finish, this part is suited for electronics assembly, control panel builds, and industrial PCB mounting applications.

This standoff is used wherever metric M4 hardware is specified in electronics enclosures, HVAC control board assemblies, electrical panel PCB mounts, and light industrial equipment. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while providing adequate shear and compressive strength for standard board-level loading. The hex body shape allows installation and removal with common hand tools. Technicians working on control board assemblies or panel fabricators building equipment from scratch will find this standoff appropriate for metric fastener layouts requiring M4 thread engagement.

Key Features

• Fully threaded female interior with M4 x 0.7 thread throughout the full 16 mm body length
• Hex body shape with 6 mm width across flats for wrench or socket drive installation
• Aluminum construction per QQ-A-225A Comp 2 material grade T3
• Plain uncoated bright finish with no additional coating that could affect thread fit
• Length tolerance held to -0.13 to 0.13 mm for consistent PCB standoff height
• Metric dimensioning suitable for M4-spec circuit board and control panel layouts

Compatibility

Designed as a metric M4 x 0.7 female hex standoff for use in PCB mounting, control board assemblies, and electronics enclosures requiring aluminum hex spacers with fully threaded female engagement.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electronics assembly technicians or electricians during control panel fabrication. De-energize any board or enclosure before installing or removing standoffs to avoid electrostatic discharge or accidental shorting. Use a hex driver or open-end wrench sized to 6 mm across flats and avoid over-torquing aluminum threads. Follow the equipment manufacturer's fastener torque guidelines and applicable NEC requirements for any enclosed electrical assembly.
