About Brass Inserts for Plastic

Brass is the workhorse material for inserts in plastic. It machines cleanly, takes a crisp thread, carries heat well for thermal installation and resists corrosion. Knurl patterns and undercuts bite into the surrounding plastic so the insert resists both torque-out and pull-out. The result is a strong, reusable thread in a thermoplastic part without adding much weight or cost.

Fasteners for Electric Vehicles and Battery Systems

Battery packs and EV components use a lot of plastic and composite parts that have to be bolted down securely and serviced safely. Compression limiters protect bolted plastic joints from creep, and threaded inserts provide strong

Choosing the Right Brass Inserts for Plastic

Straight knurl, diamond knurl, headed, open or blind ended, the options stack up quickly. Harrison Silverdale helps buyers narrow it down to the insert that suits the material and the installation method, whether that's heat, ultrasonic, press-in or moulded-in.
