Product Specification

#4-40 Hex Standoff Screw - Male-Female Threaded Spacer - Stainless Steel - Passivated - for PCB & Electronics

#4-40 UNF threaded hex standoff screws. Stainless steel, male-female ends, passivated finish. Ideal for servers, networking gear, & electronics following US standards. Custom lengths & configurations.

Our **#4-40 Hex Standoff Screws** are precision-machined spacers designed for electronic and industrial applications that require **US Unified Thread Standard (UTS)** components. Featuring a **hexagonal body** for easy installation with a standard wrench, these standoffs have **male threads on one end and female threads on the other**, enabling secure board stacking, precise spacing, and reliable grounding. Manufactured from **stainless steel** and finished with a **passivation** treatment, they offer superior corrosion resistance and a durable, non-galling surface, making them perfect for servers, networking equipment, and computer peripherals targeting the North American market.

Primary Uses & Applications:

    *   **Computer Servers & Motherboards:** Stacking PCBs and providing ground points in equipment designed to U.S. specifications.
    *   **Networking Hardware:** Mounting boards and components in routers, switches, and modems using #4-40 screws.
    *   **Data Storage Arrays:** Spacing drive trays and controller boards within storage enclosures.
    *   **Test & Measurement Equipment:** Building and spacing internal modules of US-made electronic test gear.
    *   **Consumer Electronics:** Used in high-end audio equipment, gaming consoles, and appliances requiring fine-threaded standoffs.

How to Use:

    1.  **Tool Selection:** Use a **3/16 inch (4.76mm) hex wrench** to match the standoff's head size.
    2.  **Install Male Thread:** Screw the **male thread** (#4-40) into a pre-tapped hole in the chassis or a base PCB. Tighten securely using the hex wrench, but avoid over-torquing to prevent damaging the small threads.
    3.  **Stack Components:** Place the board or component that needs to be spaced over the installed standoff.
    4.  **Secure Assembly:** Insert a **#4-40 machine screw** (sold separately) through the component and into the **female thread** of the standoff. Tighten the screw to complete the assembly.
    5.  **Custom Configurations:** We can customize the male and female thread lengths to suit your specific stack-up height requirements.
