Standoffs/Spacers

Narrow Your Results By

Standoffs and spacers are components used to create a gap or separation between surfaces or parts. Standoffs are often threaded and used to mount circuit boards or panels, while spacers are typically non-threaded and used to maintain distance or alignment between components. Both help in organizing and securing assemblies.

At Control Design Supply, we carry a variety standoffs and spacers. No matter the size needed, our team can find the perfect match for your applications. Contact us today for more information or to begin your order.

Standoffs and Spacers

Standoffs and spacers main pupose is to crease space between two parts, typically between a circuit board and a mounting surface. They help with component clearance, airflow, and structural support.
These components are similar but there is a suble difference. Standoffs usually have internal or external threads and are used with screws or bolts. Spacers are typically unthreaded and provide separation.

Types

Shapes- They come in shapes like round and hexagonal. Hexagonal is common in electronics as they are easy to grip with tools.
Material- They can come in metal or plastic.
Threading- The standoff or spacer can have male or female threading on either end. They can also have ends that are unthreaded making a variety of options available for your needs.
