The IMTEC® CO thread insert for in-moulding is an asymmetric rolled stainless steel A2 (option A4) wire which is mainly used for customer components with blind hole threads. That wire is coiled to form a fixed bushing with at least one flange-type extension. In the forming process, the fasteners are also sufficiently magnetised and can be placed on magnetic core pins.
Advantages
Maximum usable thread length
Corrosion and acid resistance
Component cleanliness
High extraction force due to an optimisation of flank covering in plastics
Weight reduction of the component
