    Tapered Heat-Set Threaded Inserts For Plastic

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Inserts. Tapered Heat-Set Threaded Inserts For Plastic.
    Tapered at one end, these inserts are easier to align in a hole during installation than straight inserts. Use a drill bit to create a straight hole, then taper the top half. Once installed, heat the insert with a soldering tip to melt the surrounding plastic.
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, these inserts are useful for electrical applications. They resist moisture but aren't as strong as steel inserts.
    Lightweight Aluminum—At one-third the weight of steel or brass, use these inserts in robotics, aerospace parts, and other applications with strict weight limits. They also resist rust about as well as stainless steel but aren't as strong. Since inserts are lead-free, they can be safely recycled.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals. Since they’re lead-free, they can be safely recycled.

    Heat-Set Threaded Inserts for Plastic

    Create a secure base for fasteners in plastic, including brittle 3D printed parts. Press these inserts into straight holes that have been drilled, printed, or molded into plastic. Then, heat them with a soldering tip to melt the surrounding material. As the plastic cools, it fuses to the sharp, diagonal ridges around the inserts, which prevents them from being twisted or pulled out. The interior is fully threaded, so you can access the threads from both sides of a through hole. Also known as Chevron and headed inserts.
    Flanged Profile—Flanges on the insert create a load-bearing surface that prevents cracks or deformation in the base material. They also curb overtightening and keep inserts from getting pulled out or through.
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, these inserts are useful for electrical applications. They resist moisture but aren't as strong as steel inserts.
    Lightweight Aluminum—At one-third the weight of steel or brass, use these inserts in robotics, aerospace parts, and other applications with strict weight limits. They also resist rust about as well as stainless steel but aren't as strong. Since inserts are lead-free, they can be safely recycled.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals. Since they’re lead-free, they can be safely recycled.

    Any-Orientation Heat-Set Threaded Inserts for Plastic

    Quicker to install than standard heat-set inserts, these go in either way. There’s no need to check which end is up, so they’re ideal for automated production of parts. Press inserts into straight holes that have been drilled, printed, or molded into plastic. Use a soldering tip to heat them and melt the surrounding material, fusing it to the insert’s sharp ridges.
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, these inserts are useful for electrical applications. They resist moisture but aren't as strong as steel inserts.
    Lightweight Aluminum—At one-third the weight of steel or brass, use these inserts in robotics, aerospace parts, and other applications with strict weight limits. They also resist rust about as well as stainless steel but aren't as strong. Since inserts are lead-free, they can be safely recycled.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals. Since they’re lead-free, they can be safely recycled.

    A variety of tapered insert sizes that are easy to guide into holes with the included installation tools. Use a drill bit to make a straight hole, then taper the top half. Once installed, heat the insert with a soldering tip to melt the surrounding plastic.
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, these inserts are useful for electrical applications. They resist moisture but aren't as strong as steel inserts.

    Tapered Male Heat-Set Threaded Inserts for Plastic

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Tapered Male Heat-Set Threaded Inserts for Plastic.
    Guide the tapered end of these inserts into a hole for quick alignment, and then mount components onto the male threaded end. To install, first drill a hole into your plastic workpiece and taper the top half. Then, heat the insert on a hot plate and press the knurled end into the hole.
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, these inserts are useful for electrical applications. They resist moisture but aren't as strong as steel inserts.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals. Since they’re lead-free, they can be safely recycled.

    Male Heat-Set Threaded Inserts for Plastic

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Inserts. Male Heat-Set Threaded Inserts for Plastic.
    Mount components directly to plastic parts. The male threaded rod on these inserts creates an attachment point. Heat them on a hot plate and press the knurled end into a straight hole. The heat melts the surrounding plastic and as it cools, it hardens around the knurls.
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, these inserts are useful for electrical applications. They resist moisture but aren't as strong as steel inserts.

    Heat-Set Threaded Insert Assortments with Installation Tools

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Inserts. Heat-Set Threaded Insert Assortments with Installation Tools.
    Keep a variety of heat-set insert sizes and installation tools on hand. Press inserts into straight holes that have been drilled, printed, or molded into your plastic part. Once installed, heat the insert with a soldering tip to melt the surrounding plastic.
    Flanged Profile—Flanges on the insert create a load-bearing surface that prevents cracks or deformation in the base material. They also curb overtightening and keep inserts from getting pulled out or through.
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, these inserts are useful for electrical applications. They resist moisture but aren't as strong as steel inserts.
