M5-2 Thread Insert
M5-2 Thread Insert, Stainless Steel/Carbon Steel, for PCB assembly.
| Features | Self-locking, anti-loosening, ultra-high tensile strength |
|---|---|
| Thread Standard | Metric M thread |
| Thread Diameter | M5 |
Overview
An inside/outside threaded sleeve is a bushing threaded on both surfaces, used to adapt between two thread sizes or to provide a replaceable thread in a housing. Unlike a self-tapping insert, it requires a pre-threaded hole, so the sleeve is a precision adapter rather than a repair part for damaged threads. This listing: thread M5, standard Metric M thread, features Self-locking.
What sets this listing apart: Thread Diameter M5 (series runs M3–M20 available to M8.0×0.75); Features Self-locking.
Advantages
Both threads can be specified to different standards, allowing metric-to-inch conversion inside one assembly.
Precision-ground variants hold concentricity between internal and external threads, which matters when the sleeve also locates a shaft.
Thread adaptation in a single part: a small internal thread can be presented in a large external thread without a separate adapter plate.
Replaceable internal thread protects an expensive housing, since the sleeve wears instead of the parent thread.
Applications
Metric-to-inch thread conversion, replaceable threads in pump and valve bodies, bushing of worn housings, and precision assemblies where thread concentricity affects alignment.
Concentricity between the two threads is the specification that usually decides performance, not the thread sizes. State it explicitly; a general-purpose sleeve will not hold the tolerance needed for a locating application.
