PCB pillars have various names including PCB supports, PCB mounting pillars and PCB support pillars but nonetheless, they are all the same and do one job. They support the mounting of a PCB to the required surfaces in many different electronic assemblies, helping the PCB become insulated and secure.
We stock various types and styles of PCB mounting pillars, used in various applications such as:

Round Spacers, or Metal Tube Spacers, are a versatile universal assembly element, for use in all sectors.Our Metal Spacers are available as Nickel Plated Brass non threaded spacers or as Stainless Steel Spacers. Spacer diameters start from 4mm up to 10mm, and lengths from 1mm up to 40mm.Nickel is a non-ferrous material that is widely used in electronics applications, as it has good conductivity. Nickel plating makes it suitable for decorative applications, thanks to its appealing shine. Brass is a RoHS compliant material. Stainless steel has good corrosion and wear resistance, as well as being strictly non-magnetic.These Round Metal Spacers are ideal for decorative applications, such as displays and furniture.
Round, unthreaded spacers are made from PA ( Polyamide), or Nylon, and can be found in a range of lengths and diameters. These offer physical spacing for your assemblies, as well as providing thermal and electrical insulation between components. Glass filled PA is also available for applications where higher maximum service temperatures are required, as well as improved strength and stiffness.
These collar spacers are a two piece application; the pin (CSP) and the retainer (CSR). They are designed to capture the PC board. The combination of the mating parts forms a completely enclosed nylon spacer. The use of a binding head type screw is recommended. Each retainer is used with a specific pin.
These are female standoffs that have a through hole. A self-tapping screw is used to thread the plastic which gives it a strong hold. Available for several different screw sizes in many spacer lengths.
Round, unthreaded spacers made from POM (Polyoxymethylene), or Acetal, and offered in a range of lengths and diameters.These offer physical spacing for your assemblies, as well as providing thermal and electrical insulation between component. POM offers improved heat resistance, higher stiffness and lower friction than PA alternatives.
These ceramic insulation beads are used to cover wires that handle high voltage or high current applications. They can also be used as a non threaded spacer for high powered devices.
Our range of polystyrene PS (Polystyrene) spacers can be found in white or black, and in a wide range of sizes. These offer good thermal and electrical insulation.
Round, unthreaded spacers made from PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for use in applications where good electrical insulation and chemical resistance is required. This range comes in light grey and in a range of sizes.
These PCB Spacers are designed to be installed by hand and do not require assembly equipment. They are simple to install thanks to their screw in design. These Hexagonal Brass Standoffs are suitable for a wide range of applications and are available in both non-undercut and undercut versions. Non-undercut spacers offer greater stability but require a washer for installation. Undercut spacers are much quicker to install and don't require the use of a washer
Our dual locking circuit board support posts lock at both ends and offer a quick and easy way to secure two PCBs or a single PCB to framework or a chassis. They are available with alternative locking options at either end of the spacer and come in different body types, as well as numerous sizes to suit your project requirements. They are suitable for a range of needs and applications. The range is available in either Nylon 6/6 (RMS-01) or flame retardant Nylon 6/6 (RMS-19) with two UL certification options (UL94 V0 and UL94 V2).
These Standoffs are designed to be installed by hand and do not require assembly equipment. The hexagonal standoffs are suitable for a wide range of applications and are ideal for use when high mechanical strength is required and provide sturdy, insulated spacing for high power electronic applications. They are made of nylon with brass inserts and are rated UL94 V-2.
These innovative spacers are mounted to the panel with a rivet that is designed into the part. As you push the head of the spacer down, the legs expand locking it into place. They are available in 13 metric spacer lengths in a UL94 V-2 rated nylon.
This PCB Support range holds the board by it's edge, minimising the spaced required,. They are available with or without a locking nose to provide extra holding strength.
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. A self-tapping male to female hexagonal spacer made from nickel-plated hardened steel that's brass coloured. We also offer a round natural Nylon 6/6 push spacer.
This range of PCB supports has a cupped bottom fixture that adds extra stability and covers the fixture. They are available in two locking style tops, bayonet or teardrop.
These Standoffs are designed to be installed by hand and do not require assembly equipment. The round standoffs are suitable for a wide range of applications and are ideal for use when high mechanical strength is required and provide sturdy, insulated spacing for high power electronic applications. They are made of nylon with brass inserts and are rated UL94 V-2.
These self-retaining spacers snap into the board to ease assembly and maintain spacing even when the screw is removed. Avaialable in many spacing, screw and panel thickness options. they are available in standard and stackable versions.
Threaded Spacers, commonly known as Screw Spacers or Threaded Standoffs, are typically used to enable two components in an assembly to be fastened together, as a distance that is controlled from one another. They can also be used to elevate one part of the assembly above the other.
Designed to be installed by hand, these Threaded Standoff Spacers won't require the use of assembly equipment. They are suitable for a breadth of applications, and provide easy assembly. Threaded Spacer feature various connection types, shapes, materials and compatible thread sizes, including M4 Standoff. They are also available in a choice of colours to suit your application needs.
Our Thread Spacer offer includes a range of Nylon Spacers Standoffs, including options that are 25% and 30% Glass Filled, as well as Nylon 6 or Nylon 6/6. Material flammability ratings include UL94 HB, UL94 V0 and UL94 V2.
Our Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) range offers heat resistance up to 180C, as well as excellent mechanical strength and stiffness. Resistance to alternating tensile and bending loads is also very good, with superb dimensional stability. The flame resistance rating is UL94 V0.
Also stocked are Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) spacers that are ideal for any application, with heat resistance up to 200C.
Bundle easily slides in and out. Quickly and easily mounted with an adhesive base. They come in seven different sizes for various bundle diameters. UL94 V-0 rated PVC with an acrylic adhesive.
Edge Locking Supports provide a secure hold on the side of the PCB and the snap in fitting and locating nose are ideal for quick assembly. The PCB is easily removed for service.
These push-in spacers are designed to support heavily loaded circuit boards. No through hole is required in the board which allows for easy access to the underside of the board. They have a flanged base to keep them steady.
These unique supports act as a spring. The part flexes and can provide continuous support to the PCB.
These Snap-fit spacers are designed to support heavily loaded circuit boards. No through hole is required in the board, which allows for easy access to the underside of the board. These have a flanged base to keep them steady.
