Stainless Steel Self-Tapping Thread Inserts

Self-tapping thread inserts are designed for parts where a stronger or more durable internal thread is required. They are commonly installed into pre-drilled holes in plastic, aluminum, wood or soft metal components. During installation, the external self-tapping thread forms its own mating thread in the base material, while the internal thread remains available for screw assembly.

These inserts are often used for thread repair, thread reinforcement and repeated screw fastening. They can help improve the service life of threaded holes in softer materials and reduce the risk of thread stripping. Stainless steel inserts are suitable for applications that require better corrosion resistance and stable thread strength.
