240-M5-BR.315

Overview

The E-Z LOK 240-M5-BR.315 is a press-fit threaded insert designed for plastic applications. It features a flush style configuration and is constructed from brass material. The component utilizes an M5-0.8 thread size to provide secure fastening points within molded or machined plastic substrates. The specific part designation includes a .315 length dimension, indicating the overall height of the insert. This metric threaded insert is engineered for installation via press-fitting methods, ensuring reliable retention and thread integrity in plastic housing assemblies.

Feature Summary

• Flush profile design for low-profile assembly requirements
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Press-fit installation method for rapid assembly

Applications

• Plastic housing assemblies requiring internal threading
• Electronics enclosures with metal fastener needs
• Automotive interior trim components

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact thread pitch and length specifications against the application drawing before procurement. Confirm that the receiving hole diameter matches the required press-fit tolerance for the brass material. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming the M5-0.8 metric thread standard. Check packaging quantities if bulk ordering is required for production lines.

Selection Notes

Select this insert when a flush finish is required on the exterior surface of the plastic component. Choose brass over stainless steel if electrical grounding or specific corrosion environments are factors. Ensure the plastic substrate has sufficient thickness to accommodate the .315 inch length without protrusion. Verify that the press-fit force capabilities of the assembly equipment match the insertion requirements for this specific geometry.

Part Context

This component belongs to the E-Z LOK E-Z Press series of threaded inserts. These inserts are specifically engineered for integration into plastic materials through mechanical pressing rather than thermal or adhesive bonding. The series offers various thread sizes and lengths to accommodate different structural demands in plastic manufacturing processes.
