Electro Hardware P505M09F16-832 Female Hex Standoff 8-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P505M09F16-832 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create precise spacing between PCBs and mounting surfaces in electronic assemblies. Machined from 18-8 and Grade 303 stainless steel with an anodized bright finish, it accepts an 8-32 threaded fastener and measures 0.125 inches overall length with a 0.25-inch width across the hex flats. Its compact hex body allows standard hex drivers or wrenches to seat and torque the standoff without slipping. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and panel builders commonly install these during control board mounting and enclosure assembly work.

This standoff is suited for low-profile PCB mounting applications where vertical board clearance is tight. The 0.125-inch overall length makes it appropriate for closely stacked circuit boards in HVAC control panels, electrical enclosures, and industrial electronics. The 8-32 thread size is a widely used coarse thread in control board hardware, making this a common replacement or supplemental fastener during panel service or new assembly.

Key Features

• Female 8-32 threaded insert accepts standard 8-32 male fasteners for secure board-to-surface mounting
• Hex body profile allows tool engagement with a standard hex wrench or nut driver
• 18-8 and Grade 303 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in control panel environments
• Anodized bright finish meets QQ-S-763 fastener material standard
• Compact 0.125-inch OAL supports tight board-stacking clearances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental hardware standoff for circuit board mounting applications using 8-32 threaded fasteners in electronic enclosures and control panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or electronics technicians during panel assembly or control board service. De-energize all circuits and follow applicable NEC guidelines before working inside any electrical enclosure. Use a properly sized hex wrench or nut driver to seat the standoff without overtightening, which can crack PCB mounting holes. Verify thread engagement and board clearance before reinstalling adjacent components or closing the enclosure.
