FL-132-HI-CR

Overview

The E-Z LOK FL-132-HI-CR is an ultrasonic threaded insert designed for post-molding installation in thermoplastic materials. Machined from stainless steel, it features a straight flanged design with a #10-32 internal thread. The component measures 0.28 inches (7.1 mm) in diameter and 0.42 inches (10.6 mm) in height. It requires a drill size of 0.252 inches for proper installation and utilizes the HST-332 tool.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from high-quality stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Designed for ultrasonic or heat-set installation methods
• Straight flanged geometry provides superior torque and pull-out resistance

Applications

• Post-molding insertion into thermoplastic substrates
• Creating durable metal threads in plastic enclosures
• Electronics housing assembly requiring robust fastening points

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade and surface finish against project requirements. Confirm compatibility with existing ultrasonic welding equipment settings. Ensure the required drill size matches the host material specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when stainless steel durability is preferred over brass alternatives. The straight flanged design suits applications requiring flush mounting surfaces. Verify that the #10-32 thread pitch aligns with the intended screw specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the E-Z Sonic™ series of ultrasonic threaded inserts. These components are engineered specifically for integration into plastic parts after the molding process is complete, offering a reliable alternative to molded-in nuts.

Replacement Considerations

The FL-132-HI serves as the brass variant of this insert. Substitution requires evaluating if the material change affects corrosion resistance or electrical conductivity requirements within the assembly.
