281961 - Miller M5x0.8 14mm Aluminum Hex Standoff (Pack of 2)

Precision Miller Replacement Hardware

The Miller 281961 Stand-Off is a specialized hardware component designed to maintain the structural and electrical integrity of your Miller welding equipment. Sold in a package of 2, these standoffs are essential for technicians and maintenance personnel looking to perform accurate repairs or replacements on internal machine assemblies. As a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, this standoff guarantees the correct fitment and material specifications required by Miller Electric engineering standards.

Technical Specifications and Design

This standoff features a M5 x 0.8 metric thread, a standard size used in many precision electronics and industrial assemblies. The body of the standoff is machined into an 8mm hex shape, allowing for easy installation and tightening using standard nut drivers or wrenches. With a length of 14mm, it provides the exact spacing necessary to separate circuit boards, panels, or other components, ensuring proper airflow and preventing electrical shorts. The configuration is Male/Female (M&F), meaning one end has a protruding threaded stud while the other contains a threaded hole, allowing for stacking or securing components to a chassis.

Material Benefits

Constructed from high-quality aluminum, this standoff offers several advantages over steel or plastic alternatives. Aluminum is lightweight, which is crucial for maintaining the overall portability of welding power sources. Additionally, aluminum is non-magnetic and offers excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring that the part will not degrade over time even in harsh industrial environments. Its conductive nature also allows it to serve as part of the grounding path if required by the machine's design.

Application and Installation

Standoffs are critical for mounting printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic modules securely within the welder's case. Using the correct length and thread pitch is vital to avoid stripping threads or stressing delicate electronic boards. When replacing a damaged or missing standoff, always verify the part number against your machine's parts manual to ensure compatibility. This pack of two ensures you have a spare on hand for future maintenance needs.
