The 278-578 is a precision-machined brass threaded insert designed to provide reliable M6 female threads in plastic, composite, or thin-walled materials. The knurled body features expansion slots for secure anchoring, making it suitable for demanding assemblies where vibration, repeat servicing, or material thinning are factors.

Unparalleled Benefits of Buying the 278-578 Brass Insert

  • Brass construction offers excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity.
  • Thread size M6 provides standardised metric fastening.
  • Fixing hole diameter 8 mm accommodates precise installation.
  • Body outside diameter of 8.26 mm ensures a snug fit in the prepared hole.
  • Depth of 12.7 mm for secure embedment in material, minimum 16 mm thick.
  • Knurled and slotted outer body resists rotation and loosening under vibration.

Designed for Durable Threaded Connections in Lightweight Materials

The 278-578 insert is engineered for long-term connection integrity in thermoplastics, injection-moulded housings, or composite enclosures. The insert anchors securely without turning or pulling out, even under repeated service or dynamic loading. This allows equipment manufacturers to maintain M6-standard fasteners while using cost-efficient or lightweight housing materials, thereby extending product lifespan and reducing failure risk.

Application Versatility of the Product

  • Threaded receptacle for M6 screws in plastic instrument housings.
  • Reinforcement of fastening points in composite enclosures for electronics.
  • Pop-in inserts for injection-moulded parts requiring durable metal threads.
  • Serviceable assembly points on the equipment chassis where repeated removals occur.
  • Upgrade of low-strength material mounting points to standard metric hardware.
  • OEM mechanical assemblies in instrumentation, control panels, or consumer electronics.
