Round Standoffs(718 Products)

Description

Round standoffs are used to separate components being fastened by increasing the distance between them or connecting them by precisely positioning them. These standoffs accept male threaded components like screws & bolts, female threaded components like fittings, or both. Raptor Supplies offers round standoffs from brands like CS Johnson and Micro Plastics for use in PCB installations, electrical builds & motherboard connections. They feature a round profile with a smooth outer surface for applications in areas that can be easily seen.

Features

  • Round standoffs generally have a threaded body for connecting easily to components.
  • Most standoffs come with female threading on both ends to act similarly to threaded spacers and attach to male threaded fasteners or components like screws / bolts from both sides.
  • Male standoffs or male-male standoffs have two threaded protrusions on their ends for screwing into a hole.
  • Male-female standoffs can use their male threaded end to screw into a holed component and their female threaded end to accept fasteners like screws / bolts.
  • These standoffs can be partially threaded to provide a gap between components for necessary airflow, dissipation of heat and electrical isolation.
  • Selected models CS Johnson 60-614 have angled construction for connecting parts that are at different angles or in different planes to each other.
  • Micro Plastics round standoffs have nylon construction and come in packs of multiple pieces for easy replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between round standoffs and round spacers?

  • Round standoffs are similar to round spacers, but spacers have unthreaded / threaded holes for fitting male threaded components, while standoffs can include both a threaded shaft & hole for diverse gender configurations like male-male, female-female & male-female fittings.
  • Spacers can act as female-female standoffs if they have threading.

What are thread fits or classes?

Thread fit grades or classes indicate the degree of looseness or tightness of mating threads. Typically, the higher the class number, the tighter the fit of the mated components. Lower thread fit grades are suitable for applications requiring quick assembly & disassembly. Higher thread classes are ideal for close tolerances, safety & strength.

Can we remove these round standoffs once installed?

Yes, these round standoffs are equipped with durable threading that allows removal & installation multiple times.
