The IMTEC® CO thread insert for in-moulding is an asymmetric rolled stainless steel A2 wire (A4 also available) which is mainly used for blind hole threads. It is coiled to create a fixed bushing with at least one flange-like extension. In the forming process, the thread inserts are also magnetised and can therefore be securely placed on magnetic core pins.
Advantages
• Maximised usable thread length
• Rust and acid resistant
• Increased technical cleanliness (minimised residual dirt)
• High pull-out force thanks to optimised flank overlap in the plastic
• Reduced component weight
