Decision notes
| Best used when | Main risk to clarify |
|---|---|
| Tools for plastic parts molded around brass nuts, pins, terminals or other metal inserts. | Insert position, retention, fixtures and inspection gates drive risk. |
Buyer tradeoffs
| Tradeoff | Buyer impact |
|---|---|
| Function | Insert molding improves assembly but adds placement and retention risk. |
| Fixture | Insert loading and holding features become mold design issues. |
| Inspection | Position, pull-out and torque checks must be planned. |
Acceptance signals
Insert position and retention pass defined checks.Flash around insert areas is controlled.Loading method is repeatable enough for the order.
