These F-F (female-female) aluminum standoffs are great for separating stacked components or chassis tiers and can be used as an alternative to Pololu's [nylon spacers](https://core-electronics.com.au/hardware/spacers-standoffs.html). Each hexagonal standoff is 3/16" wide and has threading running through the entire length, similar to an elongated hex nut. A variety of lengths are available with either 2-56 or 4-40 threading:

Alternatives available with variations in these parameter(s): [length thread type Select variant… ](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/select-by-specification?parameters=0J76%2C0J109&product=2087&products=2080)

Longer standoffs can be made by stacking multiple F-F standoffs on a single screw.

[M-F (male-female) standoffs](https://core-electronics.com.au/hardware/spacers-standoffs.html) are also available, and can be screwed together or combined with F-F versions to make longer standoffs:
