FL-M60-HI-CR

Overview

The FL-M60-HI-CR is a heat-set and ultrasonic threaded insert manufactured by E-Z LOK. It features an M6-1.0 internal thread size with a straight, flanged design. The component is constructed from brass body material with stainless steel threads, finished in silver. Key dimensional specifications include a body diameter of 0.553 inches, a flange diameter of 0.341 inches, and a total height of 0.375 inches. The installation hole size is specified as 0.312 inches, while the required drill size is 0.315 inches.

Feature Summary

• Designed for post-molding installation into thermoplastic materials using heat-set or ultrasonic methods
• Combines a high-quality brass body with durable stainless steel internal threads
• Features a flanged geometry to provide secure anchoring within the substrate

Applications

• Post-molding threading for thermoplastic components
• Ultrasonic insertion applications in plastic assemblies
• Heat-stake installation processes for electronic housings

Procurement Notes

Verify exact dimensional tolerances and hole size requirements against the official product datasheet, as installation parameters may vary based on specific material factors. Confirm that the brass body and stainless steel thread combination meets the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength needs of the target application environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust metal thread is required within a plastic housing without compromising the integrity of the molding process. The flanged design offers superior pull-out resistance compared to non-flanged variants. Ensure the mating part utilizes an M6-1.0 metric thread standard to guarantee proper engagement and load distribution within the assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the E-Z Sonic series of threaded inserts specifically engineered for plastics. Unlike traditional fasteners, these inserts are installed after the plastic part is molded, allowing for complex geometries. The series typically includes various thread sizes and head styles to accommodate different structural requirements in consumer electronics and industrial equipment manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the M6-1.0 thread pitch, flanged configuration, and brass/stainless steel material composition. Verify compatibility with existing ultrasonic welding horns or heat staking tools. Generic metric inserts may lack the specific flange dimensions required for adequate retention in the designated 0.312-inch hole.
