Press Insert #10-24 .3 in Zinc Alloy
This press insert provides a #10-24 internal thread in a .3 in length zinc alloy body. It suits repair or assembly work where a durable threaded hole is required in softer materials. The hardware installs by pressing into a prepared hole for a secure hold.
Threaded Insert Interface Limits
The press-fit method relies on friction and material displacement rather than cutting threads. It works best in plastics, woods or soft metals that can deform around the knurls. Hardened steels or brittle composites may crack or fail to retain the insert under load.
Capacity and Headroom
The #10-24 thread accepts standard machine screws for light to medium fastening jobs. The .3 in engagement length gives adequate grip for panel assembly or bracket mounting. High-vibration or heavy-shear applications may need a longer insert or adhesive backup for reliability.

Questions about this item
Which thread size and length should I select for this press insert?
The insert has a #10-24 internal thread and a .3 in overall length, so choose it when your hole and material thickness match those dimensions.
How does the .3 in length perform once installed in a real assembly?
At .3 in long, the insert seats flush in thin sheet metal or plastic, giving a full #10-24 thread depth without protruding past the back face.
What material standard does the zinc alloy meet and what load does it cap in practice?
The zinc alloy body resists corrosion and handles typical #10-24 fastening torque in sheet-metal and plastic applications without stripping.
