Mini Support Posts
Mini support posts are compact snap-in spacers designed to push into two holes and clip securely in place, holding panels or components a fixed distance apart without screws tools or secondary fixings. Their small size makes them ideal for tight installations and miniature assemblies where space is limited but accurate spacing and reliable retention are still required. Manufactured from durable plastic or nylon, these fasteners are lightweight, electrically insulating and resistant to vibration.
What are mini support posts?
Mini support posts feature split arrow-head ends which compress as they are pushed into pre-drilled or moulded holes and then expand to lock firmly behind the panel. Once installed, they create a secure double-ended fixing point while the cylindrical spacer body precisely sets the stand-off distance between two surfaces.
This simple push-fit design allows components to be mounted quickly and consistently without threaded fasteners adhesives or specialist tools. Mini support posts are widely used in production environments where compact design fast installation and neat assembly are essential.
Mini support posts are also know as snap-in spacers, push-fit standoffs, nylon PCB supports or double-ended panel spacers. These terms are commonly used interchangeably to describe compact plastic spacers that clip into place and maintain a fixed separation between two components.
