Premium Brass Inserts: Engineered for Superior Threaded Connections

Transform your projects with our high-quality brass inserts, meticulously designed to provide strong, reliable, and reusable threaded connections in softer materials. Ideal for plastics, wood, and composites, our inserts prevent stripping, enhance durability, and ensure robust assembly for long-lasting performance across a multitude of applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• High-Grade Brass Construction: Manufactured from premium, free-machining brass (e.g., C36000), our inserts offer excellent corrosion resistance, superior machinability, and good thermal conductivity. This ensures a durable, long-lasting thread that stands up to repeated use and challenging environments.
• Superior Thread Strength & Durability: Designed to create robust metal threads within softer host materials, significantly increasing pull-out and torque-out resistance. This prevents stripping common in direct-threaded plastic or wood, allowing for multiple assembly and disassembly cycles without degradation.
• Versatile Installation Methods: Our inserts are compatible with various installation techniques, providing flexibility for your manufacturing process:
  • Heat-Set / Thermal Inserts: Optimized knurling patterns (straight, diagonal, diamond) allow for quick and easy installation into thermoplastic components using a heated tip, creating a secure, flush fit.
  • Ultrasonic Inserts: Engineered to melt into plastic using ultrasonic vibration, ensuring precise alignment and strong mechanical bonds.
  • Press-Fit Inserts: Designed for cold insertion into pre-drilled holes, providing a secure friction fit suitable for certain plastics, woods, and composites.
  • Mold-in Inserts: Placed directly into the mold cavity before the material is injected or cured, offering the strongest bond for high-volume applications.
  • Self-Tapping Inserts: Feature external cutting threads for direct installation into materials, often used for repair or where pre-drilling is difficult.
• Optimized Design for Enhanced Grip: Our inserts feature precisely engineered knurling and lead-in chamfers. These designs minimize stress on the host material, guide the insert accurately during installation, and maximize resistance against rotational and axial forces.
• Precision Engineering: Manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent quality, easy mating with standard fasteners, and reliable performance in critical applications.
• Aesthetic & Non-Magnetic Properties: The natural brass finish offers a clean, professional look, and brass's non-magnetic properties can be advantageous in sensitive electronic applications.

Applications:

Our brass inserts are the go-to solution for engineers, product designers, and manufacturers across diverse industries, including:

• Electronics & Enclosures: Securing PCBs, mounting components, and closing plastic casings for computers, sensors, and consumer electronics.
• Automotive Components: Interior trims, dashboards, sensor housings, and lighting assemblies.
• Medical Devices: Instrument housings, diagnostic equipment, and patient monitoring systems.
• Furniture & Cabinetry: Providing robust joinery for knock-down furniture, attaching handles, hinges, and other fittings.
• 3D Printing Projects: Adding professional, durable threads to 3D-printed parts for functional prototypes and end-use components.
• Consumer Goods: Appliances, toys, recreational equipment, and household items.
• Robotics & Automation: Creating reliable mounting points for motors, sensors, and structural components.
• Aerospace & Defense: Where lightweight, strong, and reliable fasteners are crucial.

Available Types & Styles:

We offer a comprehensive range of brass inserts to meet your specific project requirements:

• Standard Heat-Set Inserts: Straight knurl, diagonal knurl, diamond knurl.
• Flush-Mount Inserts: For applications requiring a completely flat surface.
