A brass insert nut, also known as a threaded insert or brass insert, is a fastening component used to form threaded connections in materials that cannot directly accept threaded screws or bolts. It is usually made of brass, a durable and corrosion-resistant material.
Brass insert nut is typically cylindrical in shape with external threads to match the internal threads of the receiving material, such as wood, plastic, or composites. It is designed to be inserted into pre-drilled or molded grooves in the material, providing a secure threaded anchor point.
Once the brass insert nut is properly installed, screws, bolts, or other threaded fasteners can be attached to create a strong and reliable connection. Threaded inserts help distribute loads over a larger area, increasing the strength and longevity of the connection, especially in relatively weak or soft materials.
Brass insert nut is commonly used in a variety of industries, including furniture manufacturing, electronics, automotive and aerospace, that require strong and secure fastening of non-metallic materials.
