Electro Hardware P529M04F16-832 Female Standoff 8-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P529M04F16-832 is a round female standoff machined from aluminum alloy and designed for use in panel assembly, enclosure fabrication, and electronic mounting applications. The standoff accepts an 8-32 thread and measures 0.5 inches overall length with an outside diameter of 0.25 inches. The body is fully threaded through the interior, providing consistent thread engagement across the full depth. The bright anodized finish meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 specification, confirming material composition as 2024-T3 aluminum. This fastener is typically installed by electricians, panel builders, and electronics assembly technicians working with inch-series hardware.

This standoff is suited for light- to medium-duty spacer and mounting applications in electrical enclosures, PCB assemblies, control panels, and instrument housings. Its compact 0.5-inch body length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations where standard hex standoffs would not fit. The round body profile and bright finish are common in clean-room adjacent and aerospace-adjacent assembly environments where visual inspection and material traceability are required. The inch-system thread sizing integrates directly with standard 8-32 machine screws and mating hardware.

Key Features

• 8-32 female thread, fully threaded interior for maximum engagement flexibility
• 0.5 inches overall length with 0.25 inches outside diameter for compact installations
• Aluminum construction, Material Grade T3, meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 fastener standard
• Bright anodized finish resists corrosion and supports visual inspection
• Round body profile fits applications where hex standoffs are not practical
• Length tolerance held to -0.005 to 0.005 inches for precision assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for inch-series panel and enclosure assemblies using 8-32 machine screw hardware.

Installation Notes

Install using the appropriate inch-series driver or standoff installation tool to avoid galling the aluminum threads. De-energize all circuits before working inside electrical enclosures and follow applicable NEC guidelines for panel assembly. Avoid overtightening, as aluminum threads have lower strip resistance than steel. Inspect threads before installation to confirm no damage occurred during handling.
