"Availability: No Longer Stocked" Also googled. CPC is my first port of call as its a 5 min drive away.
Steve21 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 haha sorry having spazzy moment Meant RS Threaded Standoffs - Parts from Spacers & Standoffs | RS Online Example: | RS Hex Male/Female Threaded Standoff, 15mm, M4 x M4 M4 | Don't know if there's a certain size you need need, or is it just the same ones basically?

Gaz Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Well I think the star-tech ones are designed for the VGA cables which is what I'm after it for. If the Hex bit is too long then the pins from the VGA cable wont reach the holes in the female side. I just extracted one from a Displayport to DVI adapter and the thread is quite long while the Hex bit is quite short, the thread length shouldn't be an issue as long as it does a few turns but the Hex side of things may. Doing a bit more reading it appears as though the star-tech ones must be the standard measurements for these type of "screws" OK I just measured this one and the Hex bit is only 5mm and the RS ones are 10mm at the small end which is a shame. They do a 5mm one but its an M3 which is too small.

Steve21 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 If it's the 5mm hex, 7mm thread D-Sub ones aren't the unbranded ones on CPC still usable? F398MZ - UNBRANDED - JACK POST FOR D CONS | CPC UK Steve 1

F398MZ - UNBRANDED - JACK POST FOR D CONS | CPC UK Steve Those should be perfect! No idea how I never spotted those before. Just a shame the minimum order is 100. I only need like 10 or so. I could in a pinch take them from the Displayport to DVI adapters but I don't really think thats a good idea because then I'll need to use one of them and it wont have the standoffs in.

Haha always the way isn't it But aren't they normally 50-100 packs? You can get the 5 PKs of the full poles if you don't mind slightly longer?

Gaz Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Gosh even better maybe! I can always make them shorter, bolt cutters will make light work of them Think I'm sorted now thanks everyone for your help.
