Hex Standoff

A hex standoff is a precision-machined spacer featuring a six-sided (hexagonal) body, designed to maintain a set distance between two components. Commonly used in PCB mounting, motherboard support, and electronic enclosures, hex standoff spacers ensure mechanical stability and ease of installation.

Available in various configurations such as male-to-female, female-to-female, and male-to-male, our hex threaded standoffs are suitable for both metric and imperial assembly systems. Whether you're building circuit boards, control panels, or LED displays, our metal hex spacers provide reliable, corrosion-resistant performance.

Product Features

• Hexagonal Design for Easy Installation
  The six-sided body allows for firm gripping with tools during tightening or loosening.

• Multiple Connection Types
  Available as hex male-female standoffs, hex female-female spacers, and hex male-male standoffs.

• Thread Options
  Supports M2–M12 metric threads and UNC/UNF inch threads, with custom threading available.

• Various Lengths & Diameters
  We provide M3 hex standoffs, M4 hex spacers, and custom lengths for all use cases.

• Strong & Lightweight
  Choose from aluminum, stainless Steel, or brass hex standoffs depending on your mechanical and environmental requirements.

Manufacturing Process

All hex spacer pillars are manufactured using high-precision CNC machining and automated threading equipment. Each standoff undergoes strict quality control to ensure proper threading, tolerance, and surface finish.

Processing Workflow:

1. Raw Material cutting (aluminum, brass, stainless steel, etc.)

2. CNC turning and hex shaping

3. Drilling and threading (internal or external)

4. Deburring, chamfering, and polishing

5. Surface treatment and inspection

6. Final QC and packaging

We support OEM hex standoff production from samples, drawings, or technical specs.

Material Options

We offer multiple material choices to meet various strength, conductivity, and corrosion resistance requirements:

• Aluminum Hex Standoffs (6061/7075) – Lightweight and suitable for anodizing

• Stainless Steel Hex Standoffs (303/304/316) – High strength, anti-corrosion

• Brass Hex Spacers (C3604) – Excellent conductivity and machinability

• Steel (Carbon or Alloy) – Cost-effective with high mechanical strength

• Optional: Titanium, Copper, Plastic vs Metal Hex Standoffs for special applications

Surface Finishes

To enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance, we offer:

• Anodizing (black, red, silver, blue) for aluminum

• Nickel plating or chrome plating for brass and steel

• Zinc plating (yellow, black, or blue passivation)

• Stainless steel passivation

• Black oxide or powder coating (available upon request)

All finishes are RoHS-compliant and suited for electronics and industrial applications.

Precision & Quality Inspection

We ensure all hex standoff spacers meet international quality standards:

• Tolerance: ±0.01 mm to ±0.05 mm depending on application

• Thread inspection: 100% with go/no-go gauges

• Material certification: Available upon request (SGS, RoHS, REACH)

• Concentricity and surface finish checks

• ISO 9001:2015 certified facility

We also support full PPAP documentation and COC reports for high-end clients.

Application Fields

Hex standoffs are widely used in:

• PCB mounting and motherboard assembly

• LED panel installation and lighting systems

• Control boxes, electrical enclosures, and wiring layouts

• Robotics, automation machinery, and sensor installations

• Automotive electronics

• Networking racks and telecom cabinets

Whether you need a micro hex standoff for compact electronics or a M4 brass hex spacer for control panels, we deliver reliable spacing solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What’s the difference between hex and round standoffs?
A: Hex standoffs provide better grip during installation and are more common in applications requiring torque tools. Round standoffs are typically used in lightweight or aesthetic-focused designs.

Q2: Can I get custom sizes or threads?
A: Yes. We support full customization, including non-standard lengths, thread pitches, and low-profile hex spacers.

Q3: Do you have minimum order quantities (MOQs)?
A: Standard models: MOQ 500 pcs. Custom CNC hex standoffs: MOQ 1,000 pcs, depending on complexity.

Q4: Do you provide samples?
A: Yes, free samples for standard types. Custom samples may involve setup or tooling costs.

Q5: What is your lead time?
A: Standard products ship in 7–10 days. Custom orders take 10–20 working days depending on order volume.
