Self Adhesive PCB Supports

Self Adhesive PCB Mounts, also known as PCB Pillars or PCB Support, provide insulation benefits, and help secure Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for a range of electronical assemblies and applications. Helping prevent short circuit and shock, PCB Support Pillars are used in most electronic objects, including; smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, and common kitchen appliances.

Our PCB Pillar range come with a double-sided adhesive tape that features a release tab for quick installation. The adhesive element eliminates the need for mounting holes on the chassis.

Available with snap-locking, push spacer and miniature options. Snap-locking types aid fast installation by hand.

  • Colour: Natural
  • Material: Nylon 6/6
  • UL94 V2 flame resistance rating

The adhesive element of the product has a shelf life of approximately 1 Year from date of shipping; when stored in the unopened original packaging, stored at room temperature and away from sunlight.

Standoffs

Our range of Standoffs, which are commonly referred to as Hex Spacers or Standoff Pillars, are quick and easy to install thanks to their screw-in design. Our standoffs are available in both a non-undercut and undercut version. Non-undercut spacers offer greater stability, but require a washer for installation. Whereas undercut spacers are much quicker to install, and allow spacers to be stacked and do not require the use of a washer - making them a econonical solution. Our spacer range is also available in self-tapping types for mating with non-threaded fittings.

Our standoff spacers offering includes undercut male to female standoff made from either, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated steel, aluminium or stainless steel, which are self-tapping. Female to female hex spacers made from brass, stainless steel, nickel-plated brass or zinc-plated steel.
