STANDOFF .375 PANEL MOUNT

Panels of all types are widely used in the design of restaurant equipment. A panel is usually part of the housing, or an access covering made of stainless steel, painted aluminum, or molded plastic and is generally water resistant and easily cleaned.  Panels may have fin type of openings (louvers) to allow air to flow across interior components.  Panels may also be "control panels" having operating buttons, displays, dials or switches.

A standoff is a device which maintains a fixed distance between two objects. In machinery it is a threaded separator of defined length used to separate one part in an assembly from another. They are usually round or hex (for wrench tightening) and often made of aluminum, brass, or nylon. In electronics they are frequently used to raise a printed-circuit board above a surface. Insulating standoffs keep two parts from touching each other, thereby preventing electrical shorts. When used to fasten cable connectors together, they are called jack screws.
