00:00If you've ever tried to mount a PCB and ended up jamming a random screw through it while praying nothing
00:04shorts out on the metal chassis underneath, yeah, this video's for you.
00:08I went digging through a mountain of listings to find the top 5 brass standoff spacers for PCB builds, and
00:14I pulled the ones that actually have the reviews and the sales numbers to back them up.
00:19Let's get into it.
00:21First up is the big one, the complete M2, M2.5, M3, and M4 solid brass hex standoff kit that
00:27comes in an organized box with the screws, nuts, and washers all included.
00:32This is the buy-it-once-and-stop-thinking-about-it option.
00:36Every drawer is labeled, every size is sorted, and when you're halfway through a build at midnight, that matters more
00:41than you'd think.
00:42It's $11.38, it's got a perfect 5-star rating with nearly 5,000 sold, and honestly, for the amount
00:50of hardware you get, that's ridiculous value.
00:53If you build anything regularly, Raspberry Pi projects, 3D printer electronics, custom PC mods, start here.
01:00Next is the male-to-female brass hex standoff set.
01:04These are the ones with a threaded post on one end and a threaded hole on the other, so you
01:08can stack them, tower them, and build up multiple board layers without any extra hardware.
01:14That's the magic of Monday-to-Friday standoffs, they just keep going.
01:18It's $4.35 with a 4.9 rating and about 4,800 sold.
01:24If you're doing a 2 or 3 board stack, like a pie with a hat and a shield on top,
01:28this is exactly the piece you're missing.
01:31Third, we've got the double-pass female standoffs, and these run from M2 all the way up to M6, so
01:36this is your option if you're working with bigger, heavier boards or power supplies.
01:41Female threads on both ends means you screw in from the top and the bottom, which gives you a really
01:46clean, symmetrical mount.
01:48And the price is almost silly, $0.77.
01:525-star rating, nearly 4,900 sold.
01:56At that price you just grab a handful in the sizes you use most and keep them in the drawer.
02:01Fourth is another male-female brass pillar set covering M2 through M4, and what I like here is the flexibility
02:07on lengths.
02:09These are the workhorse standoffs for motherboard trays, board racks, and enclosure mounts, the stuff you're doing constantly.
02:16Solid brass means good conductivity if you need a ground path, and it won't rust on you like cheap-plated
02:21steel will.
02:22It's $2.77 with a perfect 5-star rating and over 4,700 sold.
02:29Great middle ground if you don't need a whole kit but want more than a couple pieces.
02:34And number 5 is the flexible pack option, you choose 10 or 50 pieces, and you choose male-female or
02:39female-female, across M2 through M4.
02:42That's the one I'd recommend if you already know exactly what you need and you just want a bulk bag
02:47of it without paying for sizes you'll never touch.
02:50It starts at $0.94, 4.9 stars, around 4,700 sold.
02:56Solid brass, clean threads, and buying in 50s means you're not reordering 3 weeks from now.
03:02All 5 of these are linked down in the description, so go check the current prices, they move around a
03:07lot.

03:14Thanks for watching, and happy building!
03:16Well, stay tuned!
03:17Thank you!
