M3x10 Nylon Standoff Screw Sets - 10pc

As we all know, Electronics relies on conductivity and low resistance to wrangle electrons and keep them running the right circuits and through the right components. However, this of course means that conductive materials like metals and carbon can easily cause short circuits, sometimes with those shorts even jumping from one module to another. As you can imagine, this can cause unexpected damage, often in spectacular (but disappointing) ways, and so as Makers, we have to keep this in mind, especially if we are ever working on metal trestle tables or other conductive surfaces.

This is why we love handy little bits ‘n’ bobs like these M3x10 Nylon Standoff Screws, which come in sets of 10 and are built specifically to provide a way to keep your Modules and boards safely elevated from potentially conductive surfaces, as well as separated from other modules and boards so as to prevent shorts and cheeky electrons from going where they’re not supposed to. So if you’re constantly stressing about potential shorts with the surfaces around your projects, or if you want to enclose some modules in a snug box but don’t want all of the bare pins to touch each other, these Nylon Standoffs are perfect little protectors to keep your boards safe and working just the way they should.

If you want to keep your boards and modules safe, but are looking for standoffs for other sized mounting holes, take a look through our Nylon Standoffs Subsection to find the ones that suit your boards, modules and projects.

As self-proclaimed “Robo-holics”, DFRobot is a company comprised of over 100 staff members, of which 30% are engineers who love to build robots. It was started in 2008 with the goal of embracing and promoting open-source hardware, with a core focus on Arduino, Raspberry Pi and their very own LattePanda development boards. Since then, DFRobot have manufactured over 1300 unique modules, sensors and components that all work together and complement each other, allowing users like us to enjoy a full spectrum of cutting edge robotics and electronics without having to pay premium prices.

With the primary goal of developing and manufacturing great quality products, while making them accessible to as many people as possible, DFRobot are rapidly becoming one of the most common-place brands in the world of open-source robotics and electronics. With more than 1300 products developed in-house, and an impressive range of different categories and specialisations, there are few brands in the world who can compete in terms of quality, accessibility and genuine innovation.
