They keep parts spaced 11 mm apart, which is just... ## Pricing - **Price:** $5.55 (inc GST) — $5.05 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $4.85 (exc GST) · 25+ $4.69 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 21 and Aug 24. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-1952:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-1952:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description | [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J7685_12247102fa2.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J7685_10036bf8bb3.jpg) | |---| These aluminum hexagonal standoffs are just the right size for mounting expansion PCBs or HATs with [standard-size female headers](https://core-electronics.com.au/stackable-0-100-female-header-2x20-pin-straight.html) on a [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi.html). The body of each male-female standoff is 11 mm long by 4 mm wide. The male threads extend another 6 mm past the standoff body, and the female threads extend at least 6.35 mm into the body. You can easily screw multiple units together to make longer standoffs. The threads are M2.5 on both ends, since this matches the size of the Raspberry Pi mounting holes.
