M3 X 6 mm Brass Heat Set Threaded Round Insert Nut-25 Pcs.

The M3 x 6 mm brass heat set threaded round insert nut is a specific hardware item used for creating robust threaded connections in materials like plastic, wood, or soft metals. Here are the details and features of this type of insert nut:

Description

• Material: Brass
• Thread Size: M3 (metric 3 mm)
• Length: 6 mm
• Shape: Round
• Quantity: 25 pieces

Features

1. Heat Set Installation: Designed for heat set installation, where the insert is heated and then pressed into a hole. As it cools, it forms a strong bond with the material.
2. Durable Threads: Provides strong, reusable threads in various materials.
3. Corrosion Resistant: Brass is resistant to corrosion, making these inserts suitable for various environments.

Applications

• 3D Printed Parts: Perfect for adding threaded connections to 3D printed components, allowing for secure fastening and repeated use.
• Woodworking: Suitable for adding threaded holes in soft or medium density wood.
• Prototyping and Manufacturing: Useful in prototyping and small-scale manufacturing where durable and precise threads are needed.

Installation Instructions

1. Prepare the Hole: Drill a hole slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the insert.
2. Heat the Insert: Use a soldering iron or a similar tool to heat the insert.
3. Insert and Press: Once the insert is sufficiently heated, press it into the pre-drilled hole.
4. Cool Down: Allow the insert to cool down to ensure it is firmly set in place.

Install:

When the threaded insert is up to temperature (should only take a few seconds) apply the insert to the appropriate hold. Apply a very little amount of pressure and the insert will melt the plastic in the hole and allow the insert to be set in place. The plastic will flow around the knurls of the insert. Be sure to align the insert squarely and flush to the plastic surface. Remove the soldering iron when it is in place.

Assemble:

After a few moments, the threaded insert will be ‘set’ within the plastic. The threaded insert is ready to receive the screw’s threads and the parts can be assembled.

Feature:

1. Heat-Set is designed specifically for notch-sensitive plastics
2. Expansion-Sets offer simple press-in installation
3. Flow-Sert is a blind insert for installation during the moulding process
4. Brass Material Can Resist Heat.
5. Not Easy to Rust, Strong Corrosion Resistance.
6. Very high pull-out and torque resistance.
7. Can be installed by ultrasonic or Heat into thread tapered hole, or moulded in during injection.
8. No need to counterbore or countersink the boss hole since the insert has guide pilot.
9. Used on the injection moulding for tightly fixing.
