Overview
The M35MM Black Nylon Double Pass Hexagonal Column Isolation Column is a type of standoff or spacer used in various IoT projects, prototyping, and electronics applications. This component is designed to provide electrical isolation and physical support between two components or PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). This documentation will focus on explaining the pins and how to connect them.
Pin Description
Since this is an isolation column, it doesn't have traditional pins like ICs or connectors. Instead, it has two M3 threaded holes on either end, which serve as the connection points.
Connection Points:
1. M3 Threaded Hole (Top):
Function: Mounting point for screwing into a PCB or component.
Description: A 3mm diameter threaded hole on the top of the column, designed to accept an M3 screw.
2. M3 Threaded Hole (Bottom):
Function: Mounting point for screwing into a PCB or component.
Description: A 3mm diameter threaded hole on the bottom of the column, designed to accept an M3 screw.
Connection Structure:
To connect the isolation column, follow these steps:
Step 1: Mount the Isolation Column
Screw the isolation column into a PCB or component using an M3 screw, ensuring the screw is fully seated in the M3 threaded hole (Top).
Tighten the screw firmly to secure the column in place.
Step 2: Mount the Second Component
Screw the second PCB or component into the M3 threaded hole (Bottom) of the isolation column using an M3 screw.
Tighten the screw firmly to secure the component in place.
Important Notes:
Ensure the screws are tightened firmly to prevent the column from coming loose during operation.
The isolation column is designed to provide electrical isolation, so it's essential to verify that the column is properly seated and secured to prevent any electrical shorts or damage to your system.
Packaging Information:
This product comes in a pack of 10 pieces, making it convenient for prototyping, testing, or using in multiple projects.
By following these instructions, you can effectively use the M35MM Black Nylon Double Pass Hexagonal Column Isolation Column in your IoT projects, ensuring reliable and safe connections between components.
