“Zero-height” metric threaded inserts for PCBs

September 28, 2022 By Lee Teschler

Ultra-Low-Profile, Surface Mountable Threaded Inserts now include Metric and Imperial thread options. These inserts are specifically designed and packaged for use on PCBs in the same manner as other SMT components as a simplified method of adding threads to PC Boards.

Manufactured from steel with a tin plate, these inserts offer an easy method of adding threads to a PCB while utilizing the same equipment as with other SMT components; keystoneresulting in a reduction of handling time or damage that may occur while using traditional threading methods for a PCB.

These new threaded SMT inserts are now available in metric (M2.5, M3, M4) and Imperial (2-56, 4-40, 6-32) threads with low profile height above the board of only .012 in. Supplied on tape and reel with Kapton tape on top surface for easy pickup, they are ideal for use with most vacuum and mechanical pick-and-place assembly systems.

A major manufacturer of interconnect components and electronic hardware, Keystone’s capabilities include stamping, machining and assembly services. Application engineering assistance for product modifications and special designs is also available. ISO-9001:2015 certified and RoHS compliant, company headquarters are in the USA with offices in Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia.

Keystone Electronics Corp., 55 South Denton Ave., New Hyde Park, NY 11040, (800) 221-5510 or (516) 328-7500; Fax: (516) 328-1080; kec@keyelco.com; www.keyelco.com.
