Threaded Hex Spacers Made of Plastic – Lightweight & Strong
Plastic hex spacers with thread are the ideal solution when lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant standoffs are needed. They are used wherever components must be mounted with a defined spacing – for example in electronics, PCB assembly, equipment construction, and precision engineering.
In electronics, threaded hex spacers act as reliable PCB standoffs. They prevent short circuits, improve airflow, and ensure easy assembly. Displays, control panels, and housings can also be securely mounted with these non-conductive insulating spacers.
For industrial and mechanical applications, plastic spacers provide stable separation of components without adding extra weight. They are perfect for prototyping, modular constructions, and projects that require electrical insulation and chemical resistance.
Plastic Hex Standoffs With Thread – Corrosion-Resistant & Insulating
Our plastic hex standoffs with thread are made from high-quality nylon reinforced with 30% glass fiber (PA-GF), standard in black. They combine low weight with high strength and excellent electrical insulation. Resistant to moisture and chemicals, they are ideal even in demanding environments.
Available in thread sizes from M2 to M6 and lengths from 3 to 50 mm, Bülte offers hex standoffs with internal or external thread as well as hex spacers with both. Thanks to their hexagonal shape, they can be easily installed and removed with standard tools.
We also supply cylindrical threaded spacers in glass fiber reinforced nylon (black), glass fiber reinforced POM (white), or natural POM. Sizes range from M2 to M5 with lengths from 3 to 60 mm.
Whether for PCBs, displays, front panels, control units, switchgear, or precision assemblies – plastic spacers are a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to metal, offering protection, safety, and long-lasting performance.

FAQ – Plastic Hex Spacers with Thread
What are threaded hex spacers made of plastic used for?
They are used as PCB standoffs and insulating spacers in electronics, equipment construction, and precision engineering. They keep components such as circuit boards, panels, and housings at a defined distance.
What are the advantages of plastic spacers vs. metal?
Plastic standoffs are lighter, corrosion-resistant, electrically insulating, and chemically resistant, making them ideal for sensitive applications. They also protect delicate components thanks to their non-conductive properties.
Which sizes and colours for threaded plastic standoffs are available from Bülte?
Standard sizes for threaded plastic standoffs range from M2 to M6, with options for internal, external, or combined threads. Colours include black, white and natural (POM).
Which materials are used for threaded hex spacers?
Typical materials for threaded hex spacers are glass fiber reinforced nylon (PA-GF), POM and fiber reinforeced POM. Each offers unique benefits to match different applications.
Are plastic spacers temperature resistant?
Yes. For example, standoffs made of nylon resist approx. -30°C to +100°C, while fiber reinforced nylon (PA-GF) spacers withstand up to +130°C.
Can plastic standoffs be used in humid or chemical environments?
Yes, most engineering plastics used for standoffs are moisture- and chemical-resistant, making them suitable for laboratories, production, and outdoor use.
Does Bülte supply custom-made threaded plastic spacers?
Yes. On request, we provide threaded spacers in special sizes, materials, or thread types to meet specific project requirements.
