Moulded-In Male Inserts

Brass Moulded-In Male Inserts are precision-engineered threaded inserts designed to be embedded into plastic or composite components during the molding process. Conex Metals manufactures these inserts to provide a strong and durable metal thread for secure fastening in materials that may not support conventional threads. As one of India’s leading manufacturers and suppliers, we produce high-quality Moulded-In Male Inserts at our advanced facility in Jamnagar. Our inserts are recognized for their precision, reliability, and superior craftsmanship.


Key Features of Brass Moulded-In Male Inserts

  • Integrated Threading:
    The inserts are placed into the mold prior to plastic injection, ensuring they become an integral part of the component. Once the plastic flows around the insert, it forms a strong mechanical bond that securely retains the insert.

  • High-Quality Materials:
    Typically manufactured in brass (or optionally in stainless steel), these inserts offer excellent corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and durability—ideal for applications where consistent performance is critical.

  • External Thread Design:
    Moulded-In Male Inserts come with pre-machined external threads that provide precise, reliable engagement with corresponding fasteners. This eliminates the need for secondary machining operations, reducing production time and cost.

  • Enhanced Mechanical Strength:
    By embedding metal threads into plastic parts, the insert significantly increases the load-bearing capacity and durability compared to conventional molded threads, which can wear or strip over time.

  • Design Flexibility:
    Available in a variety of sizes and thread specifications (such as UNC, UNF, or metric), they can be tailored to specific application requirements without compromising the aesthetic or structural integrity of the molded part.

Applications of Brass Moulded-In Male Inserts

  • Consumer Electronics & Appliances:
    Providing robust, permanently integrated threads for enclosures, housings, and mounting panels.

  • Automotive & Industrial Components:
    Used in parts requiring high strength and durability, such as control panels, connectors, and structural components.

  • Medical & Recreational Products:
    Ideal for applications where lightweight yet durable, securely threaded connections are essential.


Advantages of Brass Moulded-In Male Inserts

  • Improved Durability:
    Offers a much stronger, longer-lasting thread than those cut directly into plastic, reducing wear and stripping.

  • Cost Efficiency:
    Eliminates the need for post-molding machining or secondary insert installation, streamlining production.

  • Design Integrity:
    Maintains the aesthetic and structural integrity of the molded part with a low-profile, integrated solution.

  • Customizable:
    Available in various sizes and thread standards to meet diverse application requirements.
