FL-256-HI-CR

Overview

The E-Z LOK FL-256-HI-CR is an ultrasonic threaded insert designed for post-molding installation in thermoplastic materials. It features a straight, flanged body machined from high-quality brass with stainless steel threads. The internal thread size is #2-56. This component provides superior torque and pull-out resistance, ensuring secure fastening in plastic substrates without backing out or vibrating loose during operation.

Feature Summary

• Ultrasonic installation capability for thermoplastics
• Brass body with stainless steel threads
• Straight flanged design for enhanced retention

Applications

• Post-molding threading in thermoplastic components
• Electronics housing assembly
• Automotive interior plastic fixtures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade and thread tolerance against the official E-Z LOK datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the supplier provides traceable documentation for the brass body and stainless steel thread composition to ensure compliance with project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when ultrasonic installation is required for thermoplastic applications. Ensure the host material is compatible with ultrasonic welding parameters. Verify that the #2-56 thread size matches the mating fastener requirements and that the flanged design suits the available space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the E-Z Sonic™ series of threaded inserts. These are engineered specifically for creating durable metal threads in plastic parts after molding. The series includes various designs optimized for different installation methods and load requirements.

Replacement Considerations

FL-256-HI is the base model variant. Verify if the -CR suffix denotes a specific coating or packaging difference rather than a functional change. Consult official substitution lists for equivalent performance metrics.
