Self-Tapping Brass Inserts

Material

• Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel, Aluminium

Application

• Ideal for automated production.
• Installs easily into thermoset or thermoplastic materials.
• Internally and Externally Threaded metal bushing which are installed in plastics, soft metals and wood to provide stronger threads than the base plastic or metal can offer.
• Ideal in electronic and electrical work where contamination can cause serious problems.

Benefits

• Self-Tapping and Self-Locking.
• Provide stronger, more durable permanent threads in soft metals and plastics.
• Offer strong resistance to rotation and pull-out.
• Lead on both ends simplifies installation.
• Provides an increased bearing surface.
• Large diameter head prevents jack out in applications where elongated slots or larger than standard clearance holes are necessary in the mating component.
• Specified in applications where increased resistance to rotation is required.

Operation

• Slots provide rapid cutting action.
• Flanged configuration provides larger bearing surface.
• During the installation process the cutting action of self-tapping inserts results in slight outward stress.
• It has a larger bearing surface that is required in high torque applications.
• Provides an excellent conductive surface for electrical contacts, ring connectors or eyelets.
