Brass female inserts (Inserto de laton hembra) are custom engineered parts that make strong reusable threads in plastic, wood, and soft metal assembly. These inserts were made to have an internal (female) thread where screws or bolts can be attached firmly to them, providing increased strength with high degree of wear resistance. They are widely applied into plastic injection molding, electronic, auto parts, and house appliances. These inserts are produced of high-grade brass that has very good corrosion resistance and thermal stability and electrical conductivity. Brass female inserts (Inserto de laton hembra) are particularly useful in places where a repeated tightening and loosening may be expected since brass would not cause stripping in softer materials. They enhance the longevity and mechanical performance of the product assembled to a great extent.
Brass female inserts (Inserto de laton hembra) are of different knurling patterns (straight, diamond or helical) to increase grip and avoid rotation inside the base material. Depending on the substrate and the design requirement, installation can be either by heat fitting, ultrasonic insertion or press fitting. Having them installed offers a solid threaded point of screws. Variations of these inserts consist of various thread sizes of metric and imperial, and can be customized to length, diameter and plating application such as nickel or tin to provide better protection. Electrical, telecommunication, medical equipment and consumer electronics industries use brass female inserts as a replacement of related connection problems. Be it in plastic enclosures, PCB mounting, or interior assembly of automobiles, brass female inserts will give them secure closures and can be serviced and reassembled repeatedly as the integrity of the material is not compromised. Brass female inserts (Inserto de laton hembra) provide the best option to the manufacturer who requires precision, strength, and durability. Application and selection of the correct type of insert and installation procedure may greatly enhance the product performance and minimize life cycle costs.
