Brass Moulding Inserts · DIN 16903 · Jamnagar, India
Round body, without shoulder — brass mould-in threaded insert, knurled, CW614N, M2–M12.
Home / Products / Moulding Inserts / DIN 16903 Form B
The DIN 16903 Form B is a brass mould-in threaded insert with a round body, without shoulder, knurled on its outside so that when it is placed in the injection mould and plastic is moulded around it, it locks into the plastic part and gives a durable metric thread; the plain bore provides a standard internal metric thread; the round body suits lighter loads and tighter spacing. Brassland machines it from free-cutting brass CW614N (CuZn39Pb3) — or lead-free CW724R — to DIN 16903, as part of our moulding-insert programme.

Applications
DIN 16903 mould-in inserts give a strong, reusable metal thread in a plastic part. Typical applications include injection-moulded housings and enclosures, automotive interior and under-hood plastics, electrical and electronics housings, EV connector and battery-pack plastics, telecom and instrumentation cases, and appliance and power-tool bodies. All parts are made to order to your drawing.

Frequently asked questions
It is a mould-in insert: it is loaded into the injection tool and the plastic is moulded around it, embedding the thread as the part is formed (not pressed or heat-set in afterwards).
All 14 forms share the same mould-in principle and differ in body shape, shoulder and bore. Form B is a round body, without shoulder. See the full A–U comparison on the moulding-inserts hub.
Standard brass is CW614N (CuZn39Pb3); lead-free CW724R is available for potable-water and RoHS/REACH-sensitive parts. Metric threads M2–M12; intermediate sizes to drawing.
Diamond (cross), straight or unidirectional knurling can be specified to tune pull-out and torque resistance for your resin and load case.
