STANLEY Engineered Fastening Spiralock micro threaded inserts

Electronics engineers now have access to enhanced electronics performance - including fastener resistance to vibrational loosening, drop shock and high heat - due to STANLEY Engineered Fastening’s self-locking Spiralock internal thread form design in micro threaded inserts.

The product securely attaches components in compact electronic assemblies, improving fastener re-usability and reducing assembly costs by eliminating the need for nylon patch or chemical adhesive application on screw threads. The inserts can be used in a full range of electronics - from handheld mobile devices to mainframes including smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops and monitors - in sizes as small as M1, in any size thread or pitch necessary.

The thread form solves thread loosening and joint integrity issues by changing the physics of how the threads interact. The threads accept standard male fasteners, eliminate the need for other locking devices, provide extensive re-usability, streamline assembly since they are free spinning and reduce the potential for fatigue failure compared to standard threads.
