Plastic Standoffs Nylon Bolts Nylon Spacers Standoffs Screws Threaded

Plastic standoffs are a threaded separator of defined length made of nylon 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.

Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, more specifically aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides. They can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes. The first example of nylon (nylon 6,6) was produced on February 28, 1935, by Wallace Carothers at DuPont’s research facility at the DuPont Experimental Station. Nylon polymers have found significant commercial applications in fibers (apparel, flooring, and rubber reinforcement), in shapes (molded parts for cars, electrical equipment, etc.), and in films (mostly for food packaging). Use these Nylon Spacers with bolts and screws to maintain space between the head and the surface. These spacers are constructed from durable nylon material. Nylon helps with vibration and corrosion resistance. After the initial commercialization of nylon as a fiber, applications in the form of shapes and films were also developed. The main market for nylon shapes now is in auto components, but there are many others.
