M3 Brass Male–Female Hex Standoffs (5-Pack) | 6 mm Hex from Circuitrocks is ideal for DIY electronics builds.
Great for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and robotics or school projects here in the Philippines.
Keep your PCBs neat, safe, and stackable with these M3 brass male–female hex standoffs. The 6 mm hex body gives a firm grip for tightening, while precision M3×0.5 threads ensure smooth assembly. Ideal for Arduino, Raspberry Pi HATs, sensor breakouts, and compact enclosures.
Why you'll like them
- Rigid & corrosion-resistant: Solid brass for strength and clean grounding paths.
- Male–female convenience: Stack boards or mount panels in tight spaces.
- Clean threads: Consistent M3×0.5 pitch for hassle-free assembly.
- 6 mm hex body: Easy to hold with nut driver or pliers—less slipping, faster builds.
- Maker-tested: Great for prototyping, robotics, and mounting displays or power modules.
What’s in the pack
- 5× M3 brass hex standoffs (male–female, 6 mm hex)
- Matching M3 screws (quantity may vary by selected length/variant)
Typical applications
- PCB spacing and stacking (Arduino shields, Raspberry Pi HATs, sensor/relay boards)
- Panel mounting inside 3D-printed enclosures
- Securing power supplies, displays, motor drivers, and breadboard adapters
Specifications
| Thread | M3 × 0.5 |
| Type | Male–Female hex standoff |
| Hex width (AF) | 6 mm |
| Material | Brass (natural finish) |
| Lengths | Varies by variant (select above) |
| Pack size | 5 pcs |
| Included screws | M3 machine screws (length matched to standoff) |
Tips
- For plastic or thin PCBs, add M3 nylon washers to prevent cracking.
- Mix with other standoff sizes to fine-tune board height.
- Use a 6 mm nut driver for quick, even tightening.
FAQs
Are these compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi?
Yes. Most dev boards and HATs use M3 or 2.5–3.0 mm mounting holes; these M3 standoffs fit standard Arduino and many Pi accessories.
What’s the thread on both ends?
Male end: M3 × 0.5 stud. Female end: M3 × 0.5 internal thread.
Do I get screws in the pack?
Yes—matching M3 screws are included (quantity/length matched to the selected variant).
Note: Minor cosmetic marks may occur from bulk handling; this doesn’t affect performance.
