Printed Circuit Board Supports and Spacers - Details
All-States offers both board-to-board and chassis-to-board supporters/spacers in four styles and a wide range of spacing heights to fit almost every application. Durable, lightweight nylon supporters/spacers are reusable. One-piece molding ensures consistent, close dimensional tolerance and high strength.
Supporters/spacers snap firmly into any 3/16" chassis hole or 5/32" board hole. Locking barbs automatically expand to hold securely and can be squeezed together for removal. Spring-arm compensators exert pressure to accommodate variations in chassis thicknesses up to .070" and board thickness up to .062", and provide firm anchoring,
T-Series
T-Series Tension-Retaining Push-Mount Supporters/Spacers are designed for chassis to board applications. The PC board is firmly retained by the non-locking end of the support.
L-Series
L-Series Locking Push-Mount Supporters/Spacers are designed for chassis to board applications. The board-locking end, with barb-strengthening ribs, anchors the board securely. Because both ends lock, they can be mounted in any orientation.
SMS-Series
SMS-Series Screw-Mount Supporters/Spacers can be used in both chassis to board and board to board applications. A wide base, combined with secure screw mounting, provides extra support. The small self-locking board end conserves valuable PC board area. SMS-Series supports/spacers come in spacing heights of 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". They use No. 4 or No. 6 self-tapping screws or drive-type pins and lock into boards up to .062" nominal thickness.
DL-Series
DL-Series Double-Locking Push-Mount Supporters/Spacers are designed for board to board applications. Locking barbs on both ends hold boards tightly in any orientation even under vibration or temperature changes.
APA-Series
APA Series Hole Adapters serve as "instant holes" where holes cannot be drilled, or where screws are not desirable. APA adapters provide a base-mounting hole for any All-States push-mount PCB support/spacers. The adhesive back adheres tightly to panels, cabinets, and most other smooth surfaces.
