Understanding Spacers & Standoffs: Importance and Applications

Spacers and standoffs are essential components used in various applications, from electronic devices to machinery. These small but important components are designed to maintain a distance or gap between two objects, such as circuit boards, panels, or other components, to ensure proper alignment and stability. In this article, we will discuss the types, functionality, and maintenance of spacers and standoffs. Types of Spacers and Standoffs: 1️⃣ Edge Mount Standoffs Edge mount standoffs are designed to attach a printed circuit board (PCB) to a chassis or another PCB. These standoffs are available in different materials, such as brass, aluminum, and stainless steel, and come in various lengths and thread sizes. ☑️Hex Spacers Hex spacers, also known as hexagonal spacers, are used to create a gap between two objects, typically to mount a PCB to a chassis or panel. These spacers are available in a variety of materials, including brass, aluminum, and nylon. ☑️ Hex Standoffs  Hex ...
