They come in various lengths and wall thicknesses. They can also be used to convert a standard threaded hole to accept metric fasteners and vice versa.

Threaded inserts self clinching captive fasteners captive self clinching fasteners are designed to be installed in sheet metal and pc boards. A closed end seals out elements and protects the threads on these inserts from debris. A wide range of types and designs are available to suit a variety of host materials and insertion methods. When properly inserted the knurl prevents torque out during the tightening of the mated part.

Threaded inserts are used to repair stripped threads in plugs and other parts or to create a new threads in a hole for fastening applications. They provide a permanently attached threaded fastener which becomes an integral part of the panel or frame and eliminates the challenges associated with loose hardware. Our miniature brass inserts and miniature sheet metal fasteners are designed for mobile handset applications. Closed end flanged barbed inserts for softwood.

These metric nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. Rivet nuts aid with installation of threaded rod inserts such as bolts and rods that require strength reinforcement in surfaces that cannot support a tapped hole including some extrusions tubing or sheet metal. Board materials and other ductile or non ductile thin material. The head and collapsible legs form a load bearing surface on both sides of the material.

Sheet metal fiberglass plastics composites etc. Threaded inserts are made of carbon steel stainless steel brass or zinc. This squeezing process results in the cold flow of the sheet metal which is displaced by the nut s knurl. They can have a knurled outer surface for gripping and may be flanged.

Every part is engineered to meet critical performance requirements while optimizing production efficiency and output. Insertion into holes in sheet metal is accomplished via application of a steady squeezing force. An open end allows long screws and bolts to pass through the insert. Press fit nuts for sheet metal.
