Machined from aluminum alloy to material grade T3, this fully threaded standoff accepts an M3 x 0.5 thread and provides a 5 mm thread depth throughout its 5 mm overall length. The hexagonal body measures 4.5 mm across flats, allowing a standard wrench or socket to torque the fastener precisely into position. The plain, bright uncoated finish is appropriate for applications where corrosion exposure is minimal. Electronics assembly technicians and PCB mounting professionals install these standoffs during board-level assembly in control panels, HVAC control boards, and industrial enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis standoff is suited for metric PCB mounting applications in residential and light commercial electronic assemblies. The M3 x 0.5 thread size is common across a wide range of control boards and enclosure hardware found in HVAC systems, electrical panels, and equipment requiring secure board-to-chassis separation. The compact 5 mm overall length makes it appropriate for tight board-stack configurations where minimal height clearance is required. Installation is typically performed during bench assembly or field replacement of control board assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale hex body with M3 x 0.5 thread for precise metric PCB mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 mm overall length with fully threaded 5 mm thread depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.5 mm hex width across flats for standard wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum construction, material grade T3, for lightweight rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain bright uncoated finish per QQ-A-225A Comp 2 material standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suited for tight board-stack and panel installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style metric standoff for PCB mounting applications requiring an M3 x 0.5 female threaded hex spacer with a 5 mm overall length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by electronics technicians or field service professionals during PCB assembly or control board replacement. Power down and de-energize the equipment fully before handling any circuit board hardware. Use a wrench or socket sized to 4.5 mm across flats to seat the standoff without over-torquing, which can strip the aluminum threads. Verify thread engagement depth and board clearance before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3 x 0.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 mm (approximately 0.197 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 mm (approximately 0.177 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Grade T3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain, Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.13 mm to +0.13 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: QQ-A-225A Comp 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.008 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161816\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ELECTRO HARDWARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MP409M06F16M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ELECTRO HARDWARE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755630461234,"sku":"MP409M06F16M3","price":33.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/42f6c212976aa439d0399aeeef348c0a_96a55df9-ff8f-488b-a4a4-1bfeb1dd7209.jpg?v=1788957263","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/electro-hardware-mp409m06f16m3-female-hex-standoff-m3","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
