Electro Hardware P513M09F16-832 Hex Standoff 8-32 0.25in Ss

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P513M09F16-832 is a female hex circuit board standoff machined from 18-8 and 303 grade stainless steel with an anodized bright finish. It accepts an 8-32 thread and measures 0.25 inches in overall length with a 0.25 inch width across flats on its hex body. Standoffs like this one are used to create precise, rigid spacing between a circuit board and a mounting surface while providing a threaded female receptacle for a mating fastener. The hex body allows installation and removal with standard hex or socket tooling. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and panel assemblers routinely specify stainless steel standoffs where corrosion resistance or cleanliness standards are required.

This standoff is suited for light industrial, commercial, and residential control panel assemblies where a low-profile 8-32 threaded spacer is needed. Typical applications include PCB mounting in HVAC control boxes, electrical enclosures, and instrumentation panels. The compact 0.25 inch height makes it appropriate for boards that require minimal clearance from the mounting chassis. Its stainless steel construction handles environments where mild moisture or chemical exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• Female 8-32 threaded receptacle accepts standard machine screws from both ends
• Hex body profile allows wrench or socket installation without slipping
• 18-8 and 303 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or treated-air environments
• Anodized bright finish meets QQ-S-763 fastener standard
• 0.25 inch overall length provides minimal board standoff height for tight enclosures
• Length tolerance held to plus or minus 0.005 inches for consistent board spacing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for circuit boards requiring an 8-32 female threaded hex spacer with a 0.25 inch overall length and 0.25 inch hex width across flats.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or electronics technician. Always de-energize and lock out the panel or enclosure before mounting or removing circuit boards. Use a correctly sized hex driver or open-end wrench matched to the 0.25 inch hex flat to avoid rounding the body. Do not overtighten mating screws beyond the torque requirements of the circuit board manufacturer.
