Made from brass, this insert is pressed directly into a pre-drilled hole, creating a durable threaded anchor point that resists pull-out and torque stress in soft substrate materials. The overall length is 0.25 inches and the insert diameter is 0.199 inches, making it a compact solution for tight-tolerance plastic components. Machinists, assembly technicians, and product manufacturers use these inserts when plastic alone cannot hold reliable thread engagement under repeated fastening cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in plastic parts where a permanent, flush-mounted threaded feature is required. The flush profile sits level with the host material surface, making it suitable for assemblies where protruding hardware is not acceptable. Typical applications include plastic enclosures, housings, brackets, and molded components across electronics, industrial equipment, and consumer product manufacturing. Installation requires a 3\/16 inch drilled hole in the plastic workpiece before pressing the insert into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3.5x0.60 metric coarse internal thread for standard metric fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and good thread wear characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlush press fit design installs level with the surface of the plastic host material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25 inch overall length suits thin-wall and low-profile plastic parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.199 inch insert diameter with a 3\/16 inch required hole diameter for consistent press fit retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in packages of 50 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for installation into plastic substrates.

Drill the host plastic to the specified 3\/16 inch hole diameter before pressing the insert flush with the surface. Avoid using impact tools, as uneven force can crack the surrounding plastic or misalign the insert. Ensure the plastic workpiece is adequately supported during pressing to prevent deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3.5x0.60\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flush Press Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.199 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.188 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Use On\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0009 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: E-Z LOK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240-M3.5-BR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"E-Z LOK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911653327154,"sku":"240-M3.5-BR","price":32.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b90ad361ae6b9713d9643f478c651c12_a543e5f8-5ee3-4921-8907-618e598a219e.jpg?v=1791215674","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/e-z-lok-240-m3-5-br-m3-5x0-60-brass-flush-press-fit-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
