Electro Hardware P561M06F16-1032 Hex Standoff 10-32 1in

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P561M06F16-1032 is a female hex circuit board standoff machined from aluminum with an anodized finish. It provides a threaded female receptacle on both ends, accepting 10-32 fasteners, and creates a fixed standoff distance between a circuit board and a mounting surface or between stacked boards. The hex body measures 0.25 inches across flats, the overall length is 1 inch, and the body shape allows wrench engagement for secure, torque-controlled installation. The anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and electrical isolation appropriate for light-duty electronics enclosures and control panels. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and panel builders typically install these during board mounting and enclosure assembly.

This standoff is suited for use in residential and commercial control panels, HVAC circuit board assemblies, electrical enclosures, and any application where a printed circuit board must be spaced and secured at a precise standoff height. The 10-32 thread size is a standard designation common in control board hardware. The QQ-A-225A Comp 2 material standard confirms the aluminum grade meets federal specifications for machined fastener stock, making this appropriate for professional electronics assembly and service replacement applications.

Key Features

• Female threaded on both ends, 10-32 thread size, for board-to-surface and board-to-board stacking
• Hex body shape, 0.25 inches across flats, allows standard hex wrench or nut driver engagement
• Overall length of 1 inch with a tight length tolerance of plus or minus 0.005 inches
• Aluminum construction, Material Grade T-3, meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 federal specification
• Bright anodized finish for corrosion resistance and surface hardness
• Inch system of measurement; compatible with standard 10-32 hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension female hex standoff for use with 10-32 threaded fasteners in circuit board mounting, control panel assembly, and electronics enclosure applications where a 1-inch standoff height is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electronics technicians, panel builders, or licensed electricians during board mounting or enclosure assembly. Always de-energize and discharge the circuit board assembly before installing or removing standoffs. Use an appropriately sized hex driver or nut driver on the hex flats to avoid deforming the aluminum body. Do not overtighten; aluminum threads can strip if torque is excessive, and the anodized finish can flake under excessive clamping force.
