Electro Hardware P545M09F16-832 Hex Board Standoff 8-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P545M09F16-832 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to mount and space printed circuit boards within electronic enclosures and control panels. Machined from 18-8 and Grade 303 stainless steel with a bright anodized finish, this standoff meets the QQ-S-763 fastener standard. It accepts an 8-32 thread and measures 0.75 inches in overall length with a 0.25 inch width across the hex flats. This hardware is commonly installed by HVAC controls technicians, electrical panel builders, and electronics assembly professionals who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant spacing solution between PCBs and mounting surfaces.

This standoff is suited for residential and commercial control board assemblies, electrical enclosures, and industrial panel applications where circuit boards must be elevated and secured at a fixed, uniform height. The female thread receives a mating male fastener from the board side, allowing secure two-point attachment. Its compact 0.75 inch body length makes it appropriate for shallow panel cavities and densely populated board layouts where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• Female 8-32 threaded standoff accepts standard machine screws for secure PCB mounting
• Hex body shape with 0.25 inch width across flats allows wrench engagement for precise torque during installation
• 18-8 and Grade 303 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Bright anodized finish meets QQ-S-763 fastener standard
• 0.75 inch overall length with tight length tolerance of plus or minus 0.005 inches ensures consistent board spacing
• Sold individually, compatible with standard inch-system PCB mounting layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for circuit boards using 8-32 inch-system threaded mounting hardware in electrical enclosures and control panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified electronics assembly technicians or licensed electricians. Always de-energize the panel or control board assembly and discharge any capacitors before installing or removing standoffs. Use an appropriately sized hex wrench or nut driver on the 0.25 inch flats to avoid rounding the hex body. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack PCB mounting pads or distort the standoff body.
