Product Description
The Heli-Coil® 1185-5CN312 is a tangless, free-running wire thread insert precision-manufactured from 304 stainless steel. Designed to form permanent, high-strength 5/16-18 UNC threads in low-density parent metals such as aluminum and magnesium, this insert provides exceptional corrosion resistance and wear protection. Featuring an advanced tangless design, it completely eliminates tang break-off and retrieval steps, accelerating production workflows while eliminating foreign object debris (FOD) risks in critical structural assemblies.
Tangless Wire Construction eliminates tang removal and vacuum retrieval steps, shortening assembly cycles and completely preventing foreign object debris (FOD) hazards.
304 Stainless Steel Material delivers superior tensile strength, wear resistance, and long-lasting protection against corrosion.
Free-Running Thread Profile permits standard male fasteners to thread smoothly through the coil without applying friction locking torque.
5/16-18 UNC Coarse Threading reinforces soft parent materials and protects tapped holes against thread stripping and galling under heavy load.
1D Nominal Length Ratio optimizes thread engagement depth for compact, space-constrained joint designs.
