E-z Lok DV-006-TH 6-32 Brass Threaded Insert

Product Description

The E-Z LOK DV-006-TH is a double vane tapered hole threaded insert machined from brass for installation into plastic substrates. It accepts a 6-32 UNC thread and is designed to create a strong, reusable metal thread in soft materials that cannot reliably hold a machine screw on their own. The insert measures 0.22 inches in diameter and 0.25 inches in overall length, with a pilot diameter of 0.19 inches. The tapered hole design accommodates a drilled opening that ranges from 0.185 inches at the small end to 0.206 inches at the large end, allowing the insert to seat securely as it is pressed or driven into the substrate.

This insert is intended for use in plastic components across a range of industries including electronics enclosures, appliance housings, and mechanical assemblies where a threaded fastening point is required. The double vane configuration provides resistance to rotation and pullout after installation. A minimum wall thickness of 0.116 inches is required in the host material to ensure structural integrity around the insert. Installers working with injection-molded or machined plastic parts will find this insert suited to both production and repair applications.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread standard for broad fastener compatibility
• Brass construction resists corrosion and provides reliable thread engagement
• Double vane design prevents rotation within the host material
• Tapered hole entry spans 0.185 inches to 0.206 inches for controlled seating
• Compact 0.25 inches overall length suits thin-wall plastic assemblies
• Minimum wall thickness of 0.116 inches required in host material

Compatibility

Designed for installation into plastic materials using the inch measurement system. Requires a tapered hole with a small end diameter of 0.185 inches and a large end diameter of 0.206 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist, assembler, or maintenance technician using a press or appropriate insertion tool to drive the insert into the pre-drilled tapered hole. Power down and de-energize any assembly before servicing components. Ensure the host material meets the minimum wall thickness of 0.116 inches before installation to prevent cracking or deformation. Avoid applying lateral force during insertion, which can misalign the insert and compromise thread integrity.
