DIN 16903 Form U

Closed heavy-duty body, long form — brass mould-in threaded insert, knurled, CW614N, M4–M16.

Home / Products / Moulding Inserts / DIN 16903 Form U

The DIN 16903 Form U is a brass mould-in threaded insert with a closed heavy-duty body, long form, 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 closed heavy-duty body suits high-load joints and is also rated for pressure die castings; 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.

Frequently asked questions

How is a DIN 16903 Form U insert installed?

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).

What makes Form U different from the other DIN 16903 forms?

All 14 forms share the same mould-in principle and differ in body shape, shoulder and bore. Form U is a closed heavy-duty body, long form. See the full A–U comparison on the moulding-inserts hub.
