Electro Hardware MP1047M06F16M3 Female Hex Standoff M3

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE MP1047M06F16M3 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs and mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. The standoff features a fully threaded M3 x 0.5 internal thread running the full 24 mm thread depth, accepting M3 screws from both ends for secure board stacking or panel mounting. Machined from aluminum alloy T3 grade material to the QQ-A-225A Comp 2 standard, it delivers reliable mechanical performance at minimal weight. The hexagonal body measures 6 mm across flats, allowing installation and removal with standard hex tooling. Electronics assembly technicians and PCB integration specialists are the typical installers.

This standoff is used in electronics manufacturing and field service applications where circuit boards must be mounted at a controlled standoff height from a chassis, enclosure wall, or secondary PCB. The 24 mm overall length provides adequate clearance for component clearance or airflow between board layers. Plain bright finish with no coating is suitable for indoor electronic enclosures where corrosion resistance demands are low. Applications include control board mounting in HVAC equipment, industrial control panels, and electronic enclosure assemblies.

Key Features

• Fully threaded M3 x 0.5 female thread, 24 mm thread depth for full-length engagement
• Hexagonal body profile, 6 mm width across flats, compatible with standard hex drivers and wrenches
• Aluminum construction, T3 material grade, meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 specification
• Plain bright uncoated finish, lightweight design suitable for weight-sensitive assemblies
• Length tolerance of -0.13 mm to +0.13 mm for consistent board spacing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for PCB assemblies requiring M3 x 0.5 threaded female hex spacers with a 24 mm overall length and 6 mm hex body.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics assembly technicians or field service personnel during PCB mounting or control board replacement. De-energize all circuits completely before working inside any enclosure. Use a hex driver or appropriately sized wrench sized for 6 mm across flats to avoid deforming the aluminum hex body. Do not overtighten mating screws into the aluminum threads, as the material is softer than steel and subject to thread stripping under excessive torque.
