FL-832-HI-CR

Overview

The E-Z LOK FL-832-HI-CR is a straight, flanged threaded insert designed for post-molding installation in thermoplastic materials. It features stainless steel threads and a brass body. The component utilizes an ultrasonic or heat-stake installation method. Key dimensional specifications include an internal thread size of #8-32 UNC, a required drill hole size of 0.220 inches, and an overall length of 0.357 inches. The head diameter measures 9/32 inches, with a height of 0.033 inches.

Feature Summary

• Designed for post-molding installation in thermoplastic substrates
• Capable of ultrasonic or heat driver installation methods
• Constructed with a brass body and stainless steel threads
• Provides superior torque and pull-out resistance

Applications

• Post-molding insertion into thermoplastic components
• Ultrasonic welding assembly processes
• Heat stake installation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CR' indicates the stainless steel thread variant as documented by distributors. Confirm the base model FL-832-HI corresponds to the brass body construction. Ensure compatibility with ultrasonic or heat installation equipment rather than mechanical pressing tools. Cross-reference the #8-32 thread specification with design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this part when stainless steel threading is required within a thermoplastic housing. The brass body facilitates thermal conductivity for ultrasonic or heat installation. Verify that the 0.220-inch hole requirement fits the design constraints. Consider the straight flanged profile for surface mounting needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the E-Z Sonic series of threaded inserts manufactured by E-Z LOK. These inserts are engineered specifically for integration into plastic parts after the molding process. The series offers various thread sizes and material combinations to suit different mechanical load requirements.

Replacement Considerations

The FL-832-HI serves as the base model for this variant. Distributors may list FL-832-HI-CR as the specific stainless steel thread version. Verify exact dimensional tolerances before substituting with generic equivalents.
