The tapered hole design allows the insert to be pressed or driven into a pre-drilled hole that transitions from 0.153 inches at the small end to 0.159 inches at the large end. With an overall length of 0.135 inches, an insert diameter of 0.172 inches, and a pilot diameter of 0.157 inches, this insert provides a precise, reliable thread anchor in applications where plastic alone cannot sustain the required clamping force. Minimum wall thickness is 0.093 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in plastic substrates across a range of light-duty mechanical assemblies, enclosures, housings, and structural plastic components. It is well suited to applications where repeated fastener engagement is required and the base material cannot sustain thread wear on its own. The single vane geometry drives cleanly into a tapered hole without the need for heat or ultrasonic equipment, making it appropriate for field installation and production assembly environments alike. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and equipment service work will find this insert useful when servicing plastic housings and control enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-40 UNC internal thread for light-duty fastener engagement in plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered hole installation  -  no heat or ultrasonic equipment required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion and provides good thread wear life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle vane design locks into host material to resist torque-out and pull-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile: 0.135 inches overall length suits thin-wall plastic sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 100 with a minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for installation into plastic material.

The host material must be pre-drilled to the specified tapered hole dimensions before insert installation. Confirm that wall thickness meets or exceeds the 0.093-inch minimum to prevent material cracking. De-energize and lock out any assembly before performing thread insert service on energized enclosures or control components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.135 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.172 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilot Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.157 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.153 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge End Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.159 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Wall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.093 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Material Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Vane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: TH-004-SV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"E-Z LOK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910742835506,"sku":"TH-004-SV","price":35.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b9a454f53f19ceeee271568fc8ed5eea.jpg?v=1791200040","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/e-z-lok-th-004-sv-brass-threaded-insert-4-40-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
