Brass Heat Set Inserts for Plastic Materials
The 40/C Brass Flat Head Insert is designed to create strong, durable metal threads in plastic components. Manufactured from high-quality brass, these inserts provide a reliable and reusable threaded fixing point for thermoplastics, allowing components to be securely assembled using standard male threaded screws or bolts.
Designed for thermal (heat-set) and ultrasonic installation, the 40/C insert becomes securely embedded within the plastic material to create a permanent threaded connection. This process produces a strong mechanical bond without causing stress fractures or weakening the surrounding plastic, making it a more reliable and durable solution than gluing or press-fit alternatives.
Ideal for Thermoplastic and Injection Moulded Components
40/C inserts are specifically designed for use in plastic components where strong metal threads are required. The flat head design provides additional support during installation while helping to maintain secure retention within the parent material. They are ideal for applications requiring repeated assembly and disassembly without thread damage.
