Use nylon when you need electrical isolation between the PCB and the chassis. Use metal when you require structural strength or a grounding path.
Component Insulators, Mounts & Spacers Component Intelligence
Precision hardware for PCB isolation and mechanical stability.
What are Component Insulators, Mounts & Spacers components?
Component insulators, mounts, and spacers provide critical electrical isolation and mechanical spacing for PCBs. Selection depends on material dielectric strength, thermal conductivity, thread compatibility, and the required physical standoff height to prevent short circuits.
How to Choose Component Insulators, Mounts & Spacers Components
Select hardware based on the mechanical load, electrical isolation requirements, and environmental constraints of your enclosure.
Material Selection
Choose nylon for electrical isolation, brass for structural rigidity, or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
Thread & Mounting
Verify thread pitch and diameter match your chassis or PCB mounting holes to avoid stripping.
Thermal Requirements
Use thermally conductive insulators if the mount must also act as a heat path for power components.
Standoff Height
Calculate the exact clearance needed to prevent component leads from contacting the chassis.
Environmental Rating
Ensure materials meet UL94 flammability standards if the device operates in high-heat environments.
