E-z Lok HI-002-WH Brass Threaded Insert 2-56 Unc 100 Pack

Product Description

The E-Z LOK HI-002-WH is a brass unheaded heat-installed threaded insert designed to add durable internal threads to thermoplastic components. The insert measures 0.141 inches in diameter with an overall length of 0.157 inches and accepts a 2-56 UNC thread. Installation is performed by applying heat to the insert, which is then pressed into a pre-drilled hole using a soldering iron or heat press. The result is a permanently anchored metal thread in plastic that resists stripping and pull-out under load. This insert is packaged in a quantity of 100 units.

This insert is used in applications where a reliable threaded connection is needed in injection-molded or machined thermoplastic parts. A 1/8-inch drill is used to prepare the installation hole. The unheaded profile sits flush or slightly below the surface of the parent material, making it well suited for tight assemblies where a protruding flange would interfere. Engineers, field technicians, and production assemblers working with plastic housings, enclosures, and structural plastic components specify this insert for repeated fastener engagement without thread degradation.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and good thread wear life in plastic substrates
• Unheaded design installs flush for clean, low-profile assemblies
• 2-56 UNC internal thread accepts standard machine screws
• Heat-install method bonds the insert securely into thermoplastic without adhesive
• 0.141-inch insert diameter fits a 1/8-inch pre-drilled hole (0.126-inch hole diameter)
• Packaged 100 units per pack with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded insert for thermoplastic components requiring a 2-56 UNC internal thread with a 1/8-inch drill preparation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a technician using a temperature-controlled soldering iron or bench-top heat press set to a temperature appropriate for the target thermoplastic. Power down or depressurize any assembly before servicing components that contain these inserts. Ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct diameter and depth before installing to avoid cracking the surrounding material. Do not apply excessive lateral force during insertion, as this can displace the insert from the intended axis.
