Locking Circuit Board Support

What are PCB Spacers used for?

PCB Spacers, or PCB standoffs, are commonly known as devices designed to mount a printed circuit board (PCB) in PCB assemblies, such as computers. They are essential in securing boards tightly to the chosen device.

What is the difference between spacers and standoffs?

The main difference between a PCB standoff and a spacer is that a standoff is threaded on both ends, while a spacer is typically unthreaded with an inside clearance hole. A standoff is used to create space between a printed circuit board and another surface, while a spacer is used to create space between two objects.

Both PCB standoffs and spacers can be made from various materials, such as plastic, metal, or nylon, and come in different shapes and sizes to fit multiple application requirements.

Types of PCB Spacers & Standoffs in our range:

To give you an idea of the breadth of our range, we stock the following: threaded spacers, nylon PCB spacers, plastic PCB standoffs, PCB standoff pillars, and many more. Mounting type is a crucial element to consider, too, so we stock mounting spacers with various mounting options, such as non-threaded, reverse locking, and double-sided.

Our selection varies in materials and sizes to ensure we have the right spacers for your projects, including plastic spacers, nylon spacers, and more.
