Electro Hardware P517M04F16-832 Round Female Standoff

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P517M04F16-832 is a round female standoff designed for use in panel assembly, enclosure fabrication, and electronic chassis work. Machined from aluminum alloy to Material Grade T-3, this standoff features an 8-32 internal thread that runs a full 1 inch deep, providing solid thread engagement for machine screws. The overall length is 0.3125 inches (5/16 inches) with an outside diameter of 0.250 inches (1/4 inches). A bright anodized finish meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 specification. Length tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.005 inches. This part is installed by electricians, panel builders, and electronics technicians requiring a compact, fully threaded aluminum standoff.

This standoff suits residential and commercial panel assembly, PCB mounting, and light structural spacing applications where a low-profile aluminum fastener is required. The fully threaded female body accepts an 8-32 screw from either end, making it well suited for through-bolt configurations or blind-hole stacking. Its round body shape and bright anodized finish are common in instrumentation enclosures, junction boxes, and electronic rack assemblies. The compact 5/16-inch overall length makes it appropriate where clearance between mating surfaces is minimal.

Key Features

• Compact overall length of 0.3125 inches (5/16 inches) suits tight-clearance installations
• Outside diameter of 0.250 inches (1/4 inches) round body for consistent fit in standard mounting patterns
• Aluminum construction, Material Grade T-3, for lightweight corrosion-resistant performance
• Bright anodized finish meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 fastener standard
• Length tolerance held to plus or minus 0.005 inches for precise panel spacing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for applications requiring an 8-32 female round standoff in aluminum construction meeting QQ-A-225A Comp 2 specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, panel builders, or electronics technicians using standard hand tools. Power down and de-energize any enclosure or panel before installing or removing standoffs. Avoid over-torquing fasteners into aluminum threads, as the material is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage. Verify mating screw length does not bottom out against the standoff body before final assembly.
