Aluminum Standoff Male Female Threaded Hex Standoff Spacers

Aluminum standoff is a threaded separator of defined length used to raise one assembly above another. They are usually round or hex (for wrench tightening), often made of aluminum, brass, or nylon, and come in male-female or female-female forms. In electronics, they are frequently used to raise a printed-circuit board above a surface. Insulating standoffs keep two parts from touching each other, thereby preventing electrical shorts. When used to fasten cable connectors (i.e. “D” connectors) together, they are called “jack screws”.
In contrast, a spacer is an unthreaded piece of tubing that lets the entire bolt pass through. Since they cannot be tightened, they are usually round. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Aluminum is a relatively soft, durable, lightweight, ductile, and malleable metal with appearance ranging from silvery to dull gray, depending on the surface roughness. It is nonmagnetic and does not easily ignite. A fresh film of aluminum serves as a good reflector (approximately 92%) of visible light and an excellent reflector (as much as 98%) of medium and far-infrared radiation. The yield strength of pure aluminum is 7–11 Mpa, while aluminum alloys have yield strengths ranging from 200 Mpa to 600 Mpa. Aluminum has about one-third the density and stiffness of steel. It is easily machined, cast, drawn, and extruded.
Aluminum atoms are arranged in a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. Aluminum has a stacking fault energy of approximately 200 mJ/m2. Aluminum is a good thermal and electrical conductor, having 59% the conductivity of copper, both thermal and electrical while having only 30% of copper’s density. Aluminum is capable of superconductivity, with a superconducting critical temperature of 1.2 kelvin and a critical magnetic field of about 100 gausses (10 millie teslas).
