Electro Hardware P317M06F16256 Hex Standoff 5/8in 2-56

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P317M06F16256 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs, panels, and enclosure surfaces. Machined from aluminum alloy with a plain uncoated finish, this standoff accepts a 2-56 thread on the female end and measures 0.625 inches overall length with a 3/16-inch width across flats. The fully threaded interior runs the full 5/8-inch body length, providing consistent thread engagement across the entire standoff. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and panel fabricators install these fasteners during board mounting and enclosure assembly work.

This standoff is suited for light-duty PCB mounting applications in electrical enclosures, control panels, and electronic assemblies where aluminum construction is preferred for its low weight and corrosion resistance. The hex body geometry allows tightening and removal with a standard hex wrench or nutdriver. Typical installations include stacking multiple PCBs at a fixed distance or securing a single board to a chassis floor or mounting plate. The inch-system sizing and 2-56 thread size make this fastener common in domestic electronics and control board assemblies.

Key Features

• Female 2-56 thread with fully threaded interior for maximum thread engagement
• 0.625-inch overall length provides consistent board standoff height
• Hex body profile allows wrench or nutdriver installation and removal
• Aluminum construction reduces weight and resists corrosion in panel environments
• Plain uncoated bright finish meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 material standard
• 3/16-inch width across flats fits standard small hex tooling

Compatibility

Designed for use in PCB mounting, panel fabrication, and enclosure assembly applications requiring a 2-56 female hex standoff in the inch measurement system.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a nutdriver or hex wrench sized for a 3/16-inch across-flats hex body. De-energize all circuits and discharge any stored energy in the assembly before servicing mounted boards or standoffs. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the 2-56 thread or crack the aluminum body. Follow applicable enclosure and panel wiring standards, such as NFPA 79, when installing PCB hardware in industrial control enclosures.
