240-332-CR.250

Overview

The E-Z LOK 240-332-CR.250 is a press-fit threaded insert designed for installation in thermoset and thermoplastic materials. It features a #10-32 thread size with an installed length of 0.375 inches and a total length of 0.250 inches. The component has a minimum depth requirement of 0.345 inches and requires a hole size of 0.250 inches, with an outer diameter of 0.262 inches. Constructed from steel with a silver finish, this flush-style insert provides high-strength threads for demanding applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-strength internal threading in plastic substrates
• Flush-mounted design ensures a smooth surface profile
• Press-fit installation method eliminates need for adhesives or heat

Applications

• Thermoset plastic assemblies
• Thermoplastic structural components
