This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Component Insulators, Mounts, Spacers category on DigiKey.com
Products in this family are formed from electrically insulative materials and are used for positioning, retention, or mechanical spacing of components. Products in TO-5 metal can packaging, for example, are at risk of creating unintended connections on a printed circuit board through inadvertent contact of the device’s case with an inappropriate node in the circuit; placement of an appropriate insulator beneath the device when mounting it reduces this risk.
