Procedyne Brass Moulding Inserts are precision-engineered, threaded components specifically designed for integration into plastic, PVC, and rubber parts during the moulding process. Manufactured from high-grade free-cutting brass, these inserts undergo specialized hot and cold moulding techniques to ensure a perfect, secure fit within the host material. They are available in standard sizes such as 1/8, 5/32, and 3/16, with threading options including ISO Metric (M) and BA standards. Finishes like polished, knurled, or nickel-plated are offered to meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements, providing a reliable and robust threaded connection for electrical accessories.
These inserts are fundamental in industries that manufacture electrical hardware and durable plastic assemblies. Primary users include producers of switches, plugs, sockets, and wiring devices, where a secure metal thread is essential for assembly and longevity. The appliance industry utilizes them in control panels and housings, while the automotive sector incorporates them into electrical connectors and lighting components. Their application ensures that plastic parts can be repeatedly assembled and disassembled without wear, making them a staple in quality-conscious manufacturing environments that prioritize product durability and safety.
For businesses, the value lies in enhanced product reliability and streamlined assembly. These brass inserts prevent thread stripping in plastic, significantly reducing failure rates and product returns. Their installation during moulding is efficient, eliminating secondary tapping operations and speeding up production. The use of corrosion-resistant brass and optional nickel plating ensures long-term performance even in demanding environments. This reliability translates into stronger brand reputation, lower warranty costs, and increased customer trust, making them a smart investment for manufacturers aiming for superior quality and operational efficiency.
