ATLAS® PLUS+TITE®
BLIND THREADED STEEL INSERTS
INTRODUCED WITH STRAIGHT SHANK DESIGN
The
family of Atlas® Plus+Tite® blind threaded steel inserts
has expanded with a newly introduced version featuring a straight shank
design. This fastener joins Plus+Tite
pre-bulbed inserts in offering superior pullout resistance when installed
permanently in plastics or thin sheet metal.
Both types provide reliable and reusable threads for “blind” attachment
applications, including tubing and extrusions, where only one side is
accessible for fastener installation and component assembly. A single mating screw completes the final
attachment process.
Atlas
Plus+Tite inserts can install permanently into single, variable, or
multiple-thickness materials as thin as .020” / 0.50mm. The straight shank design will accommodate a
smaller mounting hole and the pre-bulbed inserts will require less installation
load.
Both
install from the accessible “front” side of a component. Installation can be accomplished anywhere and
at any stage in the shop or field using either a spin-pull tool or spin-spin
tool, depending on insert type. A
shoulder on both styles serves as a self-locating feature.
The
inserts are available with internal formed threads in sizes #10-32 through
3/8-16 and M6 through M10. Threads are
compatible with unified grade 5 or metric class 9.8 screws. All insert surfaces are plated for superior
corrosion-resistance.

specifications (Atlas Catalog) and free part drawings (PEM CAD Library) for these
RoHS-compliant fasteners can be accessed at www.pemnet.com
