Brass Insert
A Versatile Solution for Strong Connections
Brass inserts are small, threaded metal components designed to be embedded into various materials like plastics, wood, or softer metals. They provide a robust and reliable foundation for screws and bolts, enhancing the strength and durability of the connection.
Key Features and Benefits:
Corrosion Resistance: Brass is naturally resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use in a wide range of environments.
Improved Load-Bearing Capacity: The inserts distribute the load more evenly, preventing the parent material from failing under stress.
Versatility: Available in various sizes and thread types to accommodate different applications.
Easy Installation: Many types of inserts can be easily installed using specialized tools or even by hand.
Common Applications:
Electronics: Mounting circuit boards, heat sinks, and other components in plastic enclosures.
Automotive: Securing parts in engine compartments, interiors, and exteriors.
General Manufacturing: A wide range of applications in industries like furniture, appliances, and construction.
Types of Brass Inserts:
Self-Tapping Inserts:
These inserts are designed to be installed directly into the parent material using a special tool.
Threaded Inserts:
These inserts have pre-existing threads and are often used in applications where precise alignment is crucial.
