Adhesive Base Circuit Board Spacers
Adhesive base circuit board spacers are designed to provide stable fixed-height support for printed circuit boards and flat components where quick installation and reliable positioning are required. These spacers are commonly used to mount PCBs inside enclosures and housings, keeping boards securely spaced away from surfaces to improve airflow, reduce vibration transfer and protect sensitive electronics.
What are adhesive base circuit board spacers?
Adhesive base circuit board spacers feature a square support base which acts as a stable platform for a circuit board or component. A fixed-height post extends from the base to set the stand-off distance, while the opposite end includes an arrowhead fixing designed to push into a pre-drilled hole in a chassis or panel. As the arrowhead is inserted, it compresses and then expands to lock firmly into place.
Once installed, the square head supports and locates the PCB against the base, preventing movement and maintaining consistent spacing. This design allows boards and flat panels to be positioned quickly without threaded fasteners, making these spacers ideal for high-volume assembly and service applications.
Adhesive base circuit board spacers are also commonly referred to as snap-in PCB supports, locking board supports, push-fit PCB spacers or nylon PCB mounts with base. These terms are often used across electronics and industrial industries to describe PCB spacers that combine a push-fit fixing with an integrated support platform.
Typical applications
-
Widely used for mounting printed circuit boards in electronic enclosures, helping to secure control boards, power modules and interface panels at a consistent height.
-
Commonly used to support control panels and electronic modules in equipment housings where vibration resistance and neat internal layout are important.
-
Within automotive electronics and domestic appliances, these spacers are frequently used to locate circuit boards and components inside casings, dashboards and control systems.
-
Their nylon construction provides electrical insulation and resistance to vibration and corrosion, making them suitable for low temperature and general commercial environments.
Key features and benefits
-
Fast push-fit installation, reducing assembly time and eliminating the need for screws or additional fixings.
-
The arrowhead end delivers secure retention in pre-drilled holes, while the square base offers a stable support surface that prevents board movement.
-
The fixed-height post ensures consistent spacing, helping to protect components, improve airflow and maintain accurate alignment.
-
Nylon provides lightweight strength, electrical insulation and good vibration resistance.
