Electro Hardware P529M10F21-832 Female Standoff 8-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P529M10F21-832 is a round female standoff designed to create a fixed threaded spacer point in panel assemblies, enclosures, and structural mounting applications. It accepts an 8-32 thread, measures 0.5 inches in overall length, and is fully threaded to a depth of 1 inch. The 0.25 inch outside diameter fits standard clearance holes for compact board and panel spacing. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish meeting ASTM B633 Type 1 and QQ-S-633 standards, it delivers consistent corrosion resistance for indoor and light industrial environments. Electricians, panel builders, and electronics assemblers use this standoff to mount circuit boards, sub-panels, and fixtures at a controlled standoff distance.

This standoff suits residential and commercial electrical enclosures, industrial control panels, and electronics chassis where a threaded female receptacle is required at a fixed height. The 8-32 thread size is a common fastener standard across printed circuit board mounting, DIN rail accessory hardware, and general sheet metal assembly work. Its compact 0.5 inch body length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations where longer standoffs would foul adjacent components or covers.

Key Features

• 8-32 internal thread for broad compatibility with standard machine screws
• Fully threaded body with 1 inch thread depth for maximum thread engagement
• 0.5 inch overall length suits compact panel and board spacing requirements
• 0.25 inch outside diameter fits standard clearance hole patterns
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc-plated finish per ASTM B633 Type 1 and QQ-S-633
• Round body shape allows installation and removal with standard hex or smooth-bore tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit female standoff for applications requiring an 8-32 threaded receptacle in steel panel and enclosure assemblies. Verify clearance hole diameter and panel thickness before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, electronics technicians, or panel assemblers using standard hand tools. Power down and de-energize all circuits in the enclosure before installing or removing standoffs in live panels. Press or thread the standoff into the mounting hole per the applicable assembly drawing, and confirm full seating before torquing mating fasteners. Follow NEC guidelines for enclosure integrity when modifying panel hardware.
