M3 30MM Brass Hexagonal Hollow Pillars
KSh 40.00
In stock
The description of M3 30MM Brass Hexagonal Hollow Pillars refers to a specific type of spacer or standoff, commonly used in electronics, robotics, and DIY projects. Here’s a breakdown of its characteristics:
- Thread Size: M3 indicates a metric thread with a nominal diameter of 3 millimeters and a standard pitch of 0.5mm. This means it is designed to be used with M3 screws and nuts.
- Length: 30MM specifies the length of the pillar as 30 millimeters. This dimension determines the distance or space it will create between the components it connects.
- Material: Brass is a copper-zinc alloy known for its good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and machinability. It’s a popular material for electronic hardware.
- Shape: Hexagonal refers to the six-sided outer shape of the pillar. This design provides a good surface for gripping with tools like wrenches or pliers, making it easier to tighten or loosen if the pillar has external threads.
- Hollow: This indicates that the pillar has a hollow center. This design reduces the weight of the component while still providing structural support for spacing. The hollow center might also allow for running wires or other elements through the pillar in some applications.
- Pillars (or Standoffs/Spacers): These are fasteners used to create a specific distance between two components. In electronics, they are often used to raise a printed circuit board (PCB) above a chassis or another board, providing insulation, clearance for components, and airflow.
Possible Configurations:
M3 30MM Brass Hexagonal Hollow Pillars can come in different configurations regarding threading:
- Female-Female: These pillars have internal M3 threads at both ends, allowing them to connect two male M3 threaded components (like screws or studs).
- Male-Female: These pillars have an external M3 thread (a stud) on one end and an internal M3 thread (a tapped hole) on the other. They are used to create a standoff with a threaded post for attaching another component.
- Male-Male (Double-Ended Stud): These pillars have external M3 threads on both ends, used to connect two components with internal M3 threads or with nuts.
Common Applications:
- Electronics: Mounting PCBs in enclosures, stacking multiple boards, providing insulation and spacing.
- Robotics: Creating structural supports and mounting points for sensors, motors, and other components.
- DIY Projects: General-purpose spacing and mounting in various mechanical and electronic assemblies.
- Model Making: Providing lightweight yet sturdy supports.
Advantages of Brass:
- Good electrical conductivity for grounding purposes.
- Good thermal conductivity for heat dissipation.
- Corrosion resistance suitable for many indoor applications.
- Easy to machine and work with.
- Aesthetically pleasing metallic finish.
When purchasing or using these pillars, it’s important to know the threading configuration (female-female, male-female, or male-male) to ensure they are suitable for your specific application. The hexagonal shape aids in installation and provides a secure grip. The hollow design offers a balance between strength and weight reduction.
