Premium Brass Threaded Inserts: Superior Fastening Solutions for Plastics & More

Elevate Your Designs with Unmatched Thread Strength and Reliability

Experience the ultimate solution for creating strong, durable, and reusable threads in soft materials with our extensive range of Premium Brass Threaded Inserts. Engineered for excellence, these inserts provide a robust metal-to-metal thread in plastics, wood, composites, and other soft substrates, eliminating thread stripping, reducing assembly time, and significantly enhancing the lifespan and integrity of your products.

Key Features & Specifications:

• High-Quality Brass Construction: Manufactured from premium brass alloys (e.g., CW614N, CDA360) for excellent corrosion resistance, superior machinability, good thermal and electrical conductivity, and a clean, aesthetic finish. RoHS and REACH compliant.
• Precisely Engineered Knurl Patterns:
  • Diamond Knurls: Provide balanced torque and pull-out resistance, ideal for general-purpose applications.
  • Straight Knurls: Offer high pull-out resistance, excellent for press-fit applications.
  • Unidirectional / Herringbone Knurls: Designed for superior torque resistance, particularly in heat-staking applications where rotation is a concern.
  • Barbed Designs: Specialized patterns for exceptional retention in softer plastics.
• Versatile Installation Methods:
  • Heat-Staking: Optimized for quick, clean, and secure installation in thermoplastics. The brass's thermal conductivity ensures efficient heat transfer.
  • Ultrasonic Installation: Designed for rapid, high-volume production, creating strong, stress-free assemblies.
  • Press-Fit / Cold Press: Ideal for thermosets and some thermoplastics where high pressure insertion is feasible without heat.
  • Molding-In: Can be integrated directly into parts during the injection molding process for maximum strength and permanence.
• Wide Range of Thread Sizes: Available in standard metric (M1.6, M2, M2.5, M3, M3.5, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12) and imperial (#2-56, #4-40, #6-32, #8-32, #10-24, 1/4"-20, 5/16"-18, 3/8"-16) threads.
• Diverse Body Styles:
  • Flanged Inserts: Provide a larger bearing surface, prevent push-through, and offer a finished appearance.
  • Unflanged Inserts: For flush mounting applications where the insert needs to be completely embedded.
  • Through-Hole & Blind-Hole Options: Accommodate various screw lengths and design requirements.
• Customizable Lengths & Outer Diameters: Manufactured to precise tolerances, with various lengths and outer diameters to match your specific application's wall thickness and material properties.

Key Benefits for Your Products:

• Unrivaled Thread Strength: Create robust, load-bearing threads in materials traditionally prone to stripping.
• Enhanced Durability & Longevity: Significantly extend the lifespan of assemblies by preventing wear and tear on parent material threads.
• Reusable Assemblies: Allows for repeated assembly and disassembly without compromising thread integrity, ideal for maintenance and upgrades.
• Reduced Assembly Time & Costs: Designed for quick and efficient installation, streamlining production processes.
• Improved Product Aesthetics: Offers a clean, professional finish, especially with flush-mounted or flanged options.
• Vibration Resistance: The secure fit provided by knurled patterns helps to resist loosening under vibration.
• Stress-Free Installation: When properly installed (e.g., via heat or ultrasonics), they minimize stress on the surrounding plastic, preventing cracking.

Ideal Applications:

Our Brass Inserts are indispensable across a multitude of industries and products, including:

• Electronics: Enclosures, circuit boards, sensors, connectors, control panels, consumer electronics.
• Automotive: Interior components, lighting assemblies, dashboard elements, sensor housings, trim.
• Medical Devices: Housings, diagnostic equipment, surgical tools, patient care devices.
• Appliances: White goods, small kitchen appliances, HVAC systems.
• Furniture & Cabinetry: Knock-down fittings, adjustable feet, hardware attachment.
• Telecommunications: Network equipment, base stations, data center components.
• Aerospace & Defense: Non-structural components, internal assemblies.
• Industrial Equipment: Machine guards, access panels, tool housings.
• 3D Printed Parts: Providing strong threads in FDM, SLA, or SLS printed components.

Material Advantages (Brass):

• Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to rust and various environmental factors.
• Thermal Conductivity: Facilitates efficient heat transfer for optimal heat-staking.
• Electrical Conductivity: Suitable for applications requiring grounding or electrical contact.
• Machinability: Allows for precise manufacturing of intricate knurl patterns and threads.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Offers a balance of performance and economic value compared to other metals.
