The Short Screwfit insert is a high-performance brass self-tapping threaded insert designed for creating strong, durable threads in plastics and composite materials. Installed post-mould, these screw-in inserts feature three precision cutting flutes along the external thread form, providing a balanced cutting load for smoother installation and improved thread formation compared to conventional self-tapping inserts.
Manufactured from quality brass, the unheaded design allows for a flush-fit finish where a neat, unobtrusive installation is required. Suitable for cold installation into most grades of thermoplastics, thermosets and composite materials, these inserts deliver exceptional torque resistance and pull-out performance, making them ideal for electronics, automotive components, industrial equipment, consumer products and engineering assemblies.
Where greater thread engagement is required, consider our Regular and Long Screwfit insert variants, which offer the same reliable performance with increased insertion lengths for higher load applications.
