Board stand-offs...what are they really called?

[skiraly017]

What are the white board stand-offs that Small Bear sells called? I've tried searching "stand-off" but I don't seem to be able to find them. I'm also looking for ones that have a higher base or provide a higher stand-off. Any ideas? Thanks.

Drop the hyphen. Try "standoff" and you'll find them. In Steve's website, they're under PCB Boards and Prototyping and are shown having a height of 3/16"... RatShack sells two heights; an 11/16" and a 10mm insulated set, which is the one I seem to use more of. Here's the page for them... http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=standoff Hope it helps.

They're actually called 'standoffs' but I like to refer to them as 'pcb stopthemfromfloppinandpotetionallyshortingouttheboardonthechassissomewherethingy's'.
That's just me though.

Those Rat Shack 10mm look like they'll be perfect. Thanks.

In the UK they call them both stand offs and PCB Pillars.

These are closer to what I was looking for
