Electro Hardware P469M06F16256 Hex Standoff 3in 2-56

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P469M06F16256 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create precise spacing between PCBs and mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. Machined from aluminum alloy T3 to the QQ-A-225A Comp 2 fastener standard, this standoff features a 2-56 female thread, an overall length of 3 inches, and a hex body width across flats of 3/16 inches. The plain, bright uncoated finish keeps the aluminum surface exposed for applications where anodizing or plating is unnecessary. Electronic assembly technicians and field service engineers use these standoffs to secure and stack circuit boards with consistent, repeatable spacing.

This standoff is suited for residential and commercial electronics manufacturing, PCB rework, and control panel assembly. Its 2-56 thread size targets fine-pitch applications common in HVAC control boards, industrial control enclosures, and low-voltage electronic assemblies. The hex body shape allows installation and removal with a standard hex driver or wrench, making it appropriate for production environments and field service work where controlled torque and clean alignment are required. Thread depth is 3/16 inches, providing adequate thread engagement for the 2-56 fastener family.

Key Features

• 2-56 female thread for fine-pitch PCB mounting applications
• 3 inches overall length provides generous board-to-board or board-to-chassis standoff distance
• Hex body at 3/16 inches width across flats allows wrench or driver installation
• Aluminum T3 material grade — lightweight and corrosion-resistant in typical indoor enclosure environments
• Plain bright uncoated finish per QQ-A-225A Comp 2 standard
• 3/16 inches thread depth ensures secure thread engagement with mating 2-56 hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for electronic assemblies using 2-56 inch-series threaded hardware in hex standoff configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics technicians or electricians working on control boards and panel assemblies. Power down and de-energize all circuits before servicing any PCB or control panel. Use a correctly sized hex driver or nut driver to prevent rounding the hex flats during installation. Follow applicable assembly drawings and applicable electrical codes when mounting control boards inside live electrical enclosures.
