The insert accepts an 8-32 UNC fastener and is wound from Grade 304 stainless steel wire, making it suitable for corrosive and high-temperature environments. At 0.246 inches overall length with a 1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio, it delivers reliable thread engagement in compact bosses. The tanged design allows standard installation tooling to drive the insert to proper depth. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals install these inserts in metal and non-metal workpieces where durable internal threads are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used in precision thread repair and original equipment manufacturing across industrial, aerospace-adjacent, and general mechanical applications. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common fastener size found in electronics enclosures, light mechanical assemblies, and instrumentation hardware. The bright finish on Grade 304 stainless steel provides a clean, non-oxidizing surface that integrates well with stainless and dissimilar metal parent materials. Install scenarios include restoring stripped threads in aluminum, steel, or plastic housings, or building durable threads into soft-material components during new fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and elevated temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread size suits a wide range of light mechanical and electronic assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio with 0.246-inch overall length for compact thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTanged design compatible with standard HELI-COIL installation tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum locking torque of 9 inch-pounds with minimum break-away torque of 1.50 inch-pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish provides a clean, scale-free surface straight from packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style screw-locking insert for use with standard 8-32 UNC helical insert installation tools.

The parent material hole must be drilled and tapped to the correct HELI-COIL oversize tap specification before insert installation. Ensure the workpiece is secured and the bore is clean and free of chips or debris before driving the insert. For powered machinery or structural assemblies, follow applicable torque and fastener specifications per the equipment OEM documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Insert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.246 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2D\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.205 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.220 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Free Coils\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Locking Torque\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 inch-pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Break-Away Torque\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.50 inch-pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tanged\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.002 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Inserts\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: HELI-COIL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: A3585-2CN246\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELI-COIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52074356900146,"sku":"A3585-2CN246","price":17.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ef902a5b0bac9bbeae6ed0640ac94f55.jpg?v=1790051111","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/heli-coil-a3585-2cn246-screw-locking-insert-8-32-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
