FL-M25-HI-CR

Overview

The FL-M25-HI-CR is a threaded insert manufactured by E-Z LOK, designed for installation in thermoplastic materials. It features an M2.5-0.45 internal thread size and a straight, flanged body configuration. The component utilizes stainless steel threads and is constructed from brass. Installation is achieved through heat-stake or ultrasonic methods, allowing for post-molding attachment to plastic substrates.

Feature Summary

• Designed for post-molding installation in thermoplastic materials
• Features stainless steel threads for corrosion resistance
• Constructed from high-quality brass body material
• Utilizes heat-stake or ultrasonic installation methods

Applications

• Thermoplastic housing assembly
• Post-molding fastening points
• Electronics enclosures requiring durable threaded inserts

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for dimensional tolerances and thermal limits before integration. Confirm that the target thermoplastic material is compatible with the required heat-stake or ultrasonic installation process. Ensure the M2.5-0.45 thread pitch matches the mating hardware requirements for the intended application.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a durable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection is needed in thermoplastics without pre-insert molding. The brass body provides structural integrity while the stainless steel thread ensures longevity. Consider the installation method constraints, as this insert requires either heat or ultrasonic energy for secure bonding within the plastic substrate.

Part Context

This component belongs to the E-Z Sonic™ series of ultrasonic threaded inserts. These inserts are specifically engineered for applications where traditional mechanical fasteners are unsuitable or where a flush, robust threaded interface is required within plastic components. The series offers various thread sizes and body configurations to suit different plastic types and load requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other E-Z LOK ultrasonic inserts with matching M2.5-0.45 threads and flanged designs. Verify compatibility with existing tooling and thermal profiles when switching between manufacturers or alternative series within the same brand.
