Finding the correct spacer for your PCB application often requires knowledge of space limitations as well as mounting panel compatibility and PCB substrate material.
Unthreaded and cylindrical or hex in diameter, metal spacers and nylon spacers used in PCB mounting applications where dimensional tolerances are tight.
RC Fasteners and Components is your best source for superior quality spacers at competitive prices. Our spacer inventory and competitive pricing have made us a trusted industry-leading distributor for over 19 years.

Aluminum is commonly used for its lightweight / strength compromise. Characteristics of aluminum include the ability to withstand sever temperatures, insulating capabilities, as well as non-magnetic properties.
Spacer shape option types include round aluminum spacers and hex aluminum spacers.
Aluminum spacers are ideal for applications that require good corrosion-resistance and lightweight properties.
Stainless Steel Spacers
Stainless steel provides the same of brass, with the added resistance to chemical fumes and corrosion.
Spacer shape options include round stainless steel spacers and hex stainless steel spacers.
Stainless steel spacers provide high-strength and corrosion resistance, making it a versatile spacer material option.
Round Aluminum and Round Stainless Steel Spacer Sizes
Our inventory of round aluminum and round stainless steel spacers are unthreaded and cylindrical in diameter. Ideal for PCB mounting and other low-clearance applications
Steel is used in applications requiring greater strength but is heavier than aluminum and does not resist corrosion like aluminum, brass, or stainless.
Spacer shape option types include round steel spacers and hex steel spacers.
Steel spacers are ideal for applications such as construction equipment and general use fastener applications.
Brass Spacers
Brass is used in making high-quality spacers. It’s conductive, resists corrosion, and is non-magnetic. Brass is often zinc or nickel plated and is a costlier, heavier option compared to aluminum.
Spacer shape options include round brass spacers and hex brass spacers.
Brass spacers are ideal for applications that require electrical conductivity and good corrosion resistance.
Nylon Spacers
Nylon provides good insulation while offering a smooth surface finish that will not erode the insulation of wires that rub against the nylon spacers.
Spacer shape option types include round nylon spacers and hex nylon spacers
Nylon spacers are well-suited for high wear and tear environments.
Custom Spacers
Our spacer capabilities include custom spacer options and made-to-print specialty fasteners.
Threaded Spacers
We also stock threaded spacers (standoffs) in a variety of materials, lengths, and sizes
