RS PRO 278-629 Brass Threaded Insert is a flanged M6 expansion insert designed for secure fastening in sheet metal, panels, and plastic housings. This precision-engineered insert features a knurled outer diameter with expansion slots, ensuring consistent self-locking pressure that prevents rotation or loosening, even under vibration.

The product is made from high-grade brass, providing optimal durability and resistance to corrosion. Its flanged design enhances holding strength, especially in applications requiring a firm grip and reliable performance. The insert installs easily into drilled or moulded holes using press-in or hammer-in methods, making it efficient for assembly lines and repair operations.

This insert supports an M6 metric thread, enabling compatibility with standard screws and bolts used across industrial and commercial sectors. The fixing hole diameter of 8 mm and outside diameter of 8.26 mm are engineered for seamless fitment with plastics, thermoset materials, and metal panels. A depth of 12.7 mm ensures strong engagement and provides a reusable, stable thread for repeated fastening cycles.

Typical applications include plastic casings, electronic housings, sheet metal panels, and general industrial assembly where robust insert retention is required. Its features make it ideal for manufacturing, maintenance, electrical panel building, and laboratory equipment, enabling a reliable fastening solution for demanding environments.

Compliant with RoHS standards, the insert supports regulatory requirements for safety and toxic material management. Expansion slots allow for efficient insertion and anchoring, leading to enhanced mechanical performance and long-term reliability in field applications.
