STANDOFF CERAMIC 6-32 X 5/8

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.
