PENCOM TMZ-M3-5.20 or 001M3 Threaded Inserts

The TMZ-M3-5.20 insert is a brass threaded insert designed to eliminate the problem of weak threads in plastic components. Its unique barbed geometry securely anchors it in the material, providing strength parameters comparable to heat installation while offering a significantly simpler installation process.

Technical specifications:

Thread: M3 x 0.5 (metric)
Overall length: 5.20 mm
Type: non-headed - flush installation
Material: high-grade brass
Installation method: cold press-fit, with optional heat or ultrasonic installation

Key production benefits:

Reduced installation costs: no need for expensive heat installation or ultrasonic equipment in standard applications.

High mechanical resistance: aggressive barbs provide excellent pull-out resistance and high torque-out performance.
Component protection: the self-aligning pilot facilitates axial insertion, helping prevent damage to bosses and cracking of the plastic.
Precision: manufacturing in accordance with ISO 9001 and AS9100 standards ensures consistent quality for every unit.

Applications:

TMZ inserts are suitable for electronics manufacturers (enclosures and control panels), the automotive industry (interior trim components), the medical and household appliance industries, as well as rapid prototyping and 3D printing (FDM/SLA).
