Electro Hardware P577M06F16-1032 Hex Standoff 10-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE P577M06F16-1032 is a female hex circuit board standoff designed to create fixed spacing between PCBs or between a board and a chassis. Machined from 6061-series aluminum alloy to T-3 temper and finished with a bright anodize, this standoff provides a threaded interior post for secure, non-conductive or grounded board mounting in electronic assemblies. The hex body measures 0.25 inches across flats and the overall length is 1.25 inches. Internal threading is 10-32, compatible with standard machine screws used throughout electronics, HVAC controls, and industrial control panel builds.

This standoff is well suited for residential and commercial electronic control panel assemblies, industrial enclosures, and field-installed HVAC control boards. It is a common hardware item for technicians and panel builders who need repeatable, precise board standoff heights when mounting logic boards, relay boards, or terminal boards to DIN rail panels or sub-panels. The anodized aluminum construction keeps weight low while resisting corrosion in indoor electrical environments.

Key Features

• Female 10-32 internal thread accepts standard machine screws from both ends
• Hex body at 0.25 inches across flats allows installation and removal with a standard hex wrench or nut driver
• Overall length of 1.25 inches with a tight length tolerance of -0.005 to 0.005 inches for consistent board spacing
• Aluminum construction with bright anodized finish resists corrosion and reduces weight
• Meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 fastener standard for aluminum alloy bar and rod stock
• Sold individually, suitable for single-piece replacement or small-quantity panel builds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 female hex standoff for use in any PCB or control board mounting application that calls for a 1.25-inch standoff height with a hex body profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics technicians or licensed electricians during control panel assembly or field board replacement. Always de-energize and lock out the panel before installing or removing standoffs and circuit boards. A 1/4-inch hex nut driver or open-end wrench is typically used to torque the hex body; avoid over-tightening into tapped aluminum panels or PCB mounting holes, as the soft alloy can strip threads. Follow NEC guidelines for enclosure grounding when standoffs are used as part of a grounding path.
