NAS1830 Swage Standoffs Sourcing Guide

NAS1830 swage standoffs are specification-based mounting and spacing hardware represented in the Electronic Expediters catalog by a range of exact NAS1830 part numbers. Current listings include swage standoffs and related spacer records from Hobson Manufacturing and other inventory sources.

This guide explains how to search NAS1830 hardware, why the complete part number matters, which physical characteristics appear in current Expediters listings and what procurement teams should verify before selecting a replacement or equivalent part.

What Is a NAS1830 Swage Standoff?

A NAS1830 swage standoff is a hardware component used to create controlled spacing while providing a threaded mounting point. In a swage-style installation, the mounting portion of the standoff is mechanically formed against the receiving panel or board so the hardware can remain retained in the assembly.

For sourcing purposes, the words NAS1830 or swage standoff alone are not precise enough to identify the required component. Individual NAS1830 numbers can differ in body dimensions, mounting geometry, thread size, material, finish and other configuration details.

Understanding NAS1830 Part Numbers

Electronic Expediters currently carries multiple exact NAS1830 number families. Examples represented in the catalog include:

• NAS1830B04B10
• NAS1830B13B03
• NAS1830B13C04
• NAS1830B13C08
• NAS1830B14B02
• NAS1830B14B04
• NAS1830B14B08
• NAS1830BT11B02
• NAS1830BT14B16

The full identifier should be used whenever possible. A search for only NAS1830 identifies the overall family, while a search for a number such as NAS1830B14B04 targets a specific configuration.

Characters within the complete number distinguish configuration details. Procurement decisions should therefore be based on the exact required part number and applicable drawing or specification rather than on visual similarity between two standoffs.

NAS1830 Hardware in the Electronic Expediters Catalog

The current Expediters data set contains multiple enabled product records mapped to NAS1830 part-number families. Many of those records are associated with Hobson Manufacturing, while additional catalog records identify other inventory sources.

Separate inventory records can represent the same normalized NAS1830 part number when the records differ by manufacturer reference, inventory lot, date code, source or other inventory-specific information.

This means buyers may see more than one listing for the same underlying NAS1830 number. The complete part number should remain the primary identity, while the individual product record provides the available inventory details.

Dimensions Found in Current NAS1830 Listings

Current Expediters product descriptions demonstrate why exact-number matching matters. Representative listings include differences in body length, hex size, shank length and thread size.

Examples currently represented in catalog descriptions include:

• 1/4-inch hex swage standoffs;
• 5/32-inch hex swage standoffs;
• body lengths including 0.125, 0.188, 0.250, 0.500, 0.625 and 1.000 inch;
• shank lengths including 0.105 and 0.135 inch;
• thread sizes including 2-56, 4-40 and 6-32.

These values are examples from current inventory records, not a complete definition of the NAS1830 family. Always verify the required dimensions against the controlling engineering documentation.

Material and Finish Considerations

Material and finish are also important when selecting specification-based standoff hardware. Expediters catalog descriptions include NAS1830 examples identified with brass and finishes such as cadmium and bright tin.

Do not assume that two NAS1830 standoffs are interchangeable merely because their overall dimensions appear similar. Material, finish, thread, body configuration, shank geometry and other controlled characteristics can all affect whether a part satisfies the assembly requirement.

Hobson Manufacturing NAS1830 Standoffs

Hobson Manufacturing is strongly represented in the current NAS1830 inventory available through Electronic Expediters. Current mapped listings include Hobson swage-standoff records across several NAS1830B and NAS1830BT part numbers.

Examples include Hobson records for NAS1830B04B10, NAS1830B13B03, NAS1830B13C04, NAS1830B13C08, NAS1830B14B02, NAS1830B14B04, NAS1830B14B08, NAS1830BT11B02 and NAS1830BT14B16.

Browse the Hobson Manufacturing product area or the broader Electronic Expediters standoff inventory when the exact number is not immediately known.

Search Electronic Expediters for NAS1830 Parts

If the required part number is known, search the complete NAS1830 number rather than using a general hardware description. Exact part-number searching provides a more precise path to the relevant inventory records.

You can search current NAS1830 inventory or browse all standoffs and mounting hardware.

NAS1830 Sourcing Considerations

Before purchasing or substituting a NAS1830 swage standoff, procurement and engineering teams should normally verify:

• the complete NAS1830 part number;
• thread size and thread configuration;
• body profile and body dimensions;
• overall body length;
• shank diameter and shank length where applicable;
• material;
• finish or plating;
• panel or board installation requirements;
• manufacturer requirements;
• lot, date-code or traceability requirements when specified;
• the applicable engineering drawing, specification or approved-parts requirement.

When the procurement requirement is specification-controlled, the governing drawing and current technical documentation should remain the final authority.

Why Can the Same NAS1830 Number Appear More Than Once?

Electronic Expediters maintains inventory-specific product records. Multiple records can therefore share the same normalized NAS1830 part number while preserving differences in lot, manufacturer reference, source, date code or other inventory information.

For example, the catalog can contain more than one record normalized to NAS1830B14B04 while still maintaining separate inventory entries for the individual lots or source records.

Frequently Asked Questions About NAS1830 Swage Standoffs

What is NAS1830?

NAS1830 identifies a family of swage standoff hardware. Individual NAS1830 part numbers define specific configurations within that family.

What is a swage standoff?

A swage standoff is a spacing and mounting component designed so its mounting section can be mechanically formed against a panel or board, helping retain the standoff as part of the assembly.

Does Electronic Expediters carry NAS1830 standoffs?

Yes. The current Expediters catalog contains enabled inventory records for multiple NAS1830 part-number families, including both NAS1830B and NAS1830BT examples.

Does Electronic Expediters carry Hobson NAS1830 parts?

Yes. Hobson Manufacturing is represented across numerous current NAS1830 inventory records in the Expediters catalog.

What thread sizes appear in current NAS1830 inventory?

Current Expediters catalog descriptions include examples with 2-56, 4-40 and 6-32 threads. The required thread should always be verified from the complete part number and applicable technical documentation.

Can two NAS1830 standoffs with similar dimensions be substituted?

Not automatically. Similar dimensions do not establish interchangeability. Verify the complete part number, material, finish, thread, mounting geometry and all applicable engineering requirements before substitution.

How should I search for a NAS1830 standoff?

Use the complete NAS1830 number whenever it is available. An exact search such as NAS1830B14B04 is more precise than searching only for NAS1830 or swage standoff.

Need a Specific NAS1830 Part?

Search the complete NAS1830 number in the Electronic Expediters search field. If the required configuration is not immediately visible or a product is shown as RFQ, contact Electronic Expediters with the full NAS1830 number and any required manufacturer, material, finish, lot, traceability or documentation requirements.
