Spacers and spacers

Compass DHM projects has a category in its catalog dedicated to spacers and standoffs.

Spacers and spacers are small components that allow a more precise positioning of screws, fasteners and other components.
They are also used to ensure proper operation of some devices, in fact they prevent shorting of live components by creating a space between the powered component and the metal enclosure where it is installed.
Spacers have the key role of lifting and separating one component from another, and can be made of nylon, stainless steel or aluminum.
A spacer is a component similar to a spacer, but the key difference is that spacers tend to be screwed onto the screw or surface on which they are installed. So they also play a role in securing as well as separating.
