SH & SC Series: Threaded Studs for Plastics

Threaded studs are commonly used to fulfill specific design functions, to save money in production costs, to function as electrical contacts or to replace self-tapping or removable screws. Thread lengths are available to meet your specific requirements. Special studs without threads can be used as axles, pivots, pins, locating points or solder terminals.

The body of the SH Series Threaded Stud is specifically modeled after our H Series Insert. Its key feature is the tapered design, which allows for easy insertion into tapered molded or drilled holes. They may be installed using the thermal or ultrasonic method or can be molded in place. Click here to download the catalog pages for the SH Series (176k PDF).

The body of the SC Series Threaded Stud is modeled after our C Series Insert. Its key feature is the opposing diagonal knurls, which will provide exceptional rotational and tensile resistance. The SC Series is designed for straight molded or drilled holes. They may be installed using the thermal or ultrasonic method or can be molded in place.
