Spacer Insulator
Item Name Code (INC) 36783
![]() |
An insulator having flat surfaces, with or without holes, whose thickness exceeds 25 percent of its length or width, whichever is smaller, and whose shape is other than round. It is used to support and/or separate electrical conductors and components. Excludes INSULATOR (1), STANDOFF; INSULATOR (1), PLATE; and INSULATOR (1), SPREADER.
Additional Information for Spacer Insulator
Spacer insulators are a type of electrical insulator used in electrical and electronic equipment components. They are designed to provide spacing and insulation between different components or conductors within a system.
Spacer insulators are typically made from materials with high dielectric strength, such as ceramics, glass, or plastics. They are used to prevent electrical current from flowing between adjacent components or conductors, ensuring proper insulation and preventing short circuits or electrical interference.
These insulators are often used in applications where there is a need to maintain a specific distance or gap between components, such as in circuit boards, transformers, or high-voltage equipment. They help to maintain the structural integrity of the system while providing electrical insulation.
Spacer insulators come in various shapes and sizes, depending on the specific requirements of the application. They can be cylindrical, rectangular, or custom-designed to fit the specific spacing needs of the equipment.
Overall, spacer insulators play a crucial role in maintaining the electrical integrity and safety of electrical and electronic equipment by providing insulation and spacing between components.
