Electro Hardware P561M09F16-832 Female Hex Standoff 8-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P561M09F16-832 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between printed circuit boards and mounting surfaces. Machined from 18-8 and 303 stainless steel with an anodized bright finish, this standoff meets the QQ-S-763 fastener standard. It features an 8-32 female threaded bore, a 1 inch overall body length, and a 1/4 inch width across flats on its hex body. Electronics assemblers, panel builders, and field service technicians use this hardware when secure, corrosion-resistant board mounting is required in both light industrial and commercial enclosure applications.

This standoff is suited for PCB mounting in control panels, instrument enclosures, HVAC control boards, electrical distribution panels, and similar assemblies where a reliable threaded standoff is needed. The hex body shape allows easy installation and removal with standard hex or open-end wrenches. Its inch-system thread sizing makes it compatible with standard 8-32 machine screw hardware commonly found in North American panel and board assemblies.

Key Features

• 8-32 female threaded bore for secure PCB fastening with standard machine screws
• 1 inch overall length with a tight length tolerance of -0.005 to 0.005 inches for precise board spacing
• Hex body shape with 1/4 inch width across flats enables wrench installation and removal
• 18-8 and 303 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Anodized bright finish meets QQ-S-763 fastener standard
• Inch-system measurement for compatibility with standard North American fastener hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8-32 machine screws in standard inch-system PCB and panel mounting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electronics assembler or electrician familiar with PCB mounting hardware. De-energize all circuits before installing or removing standoffs from live assemblies. Use a correctly sized hex wrench or open-end wrench sized for 1/4 inch across flats to avoid rounding the hex body. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may crack PCB mounting holes or damage the standoff threads.
