Name Plates for Plastic Molds

Name plate components are used in injection mold tooling to keep part, cavity, and maintenance records aligned with the actual mold hardware on the shop floor. In automotive connector and bracket molds, plate labeling helps technicians quickly identify mold versions during changeovers and post-repair inspections, reducing downtime when multiple revisions are stored together.

For medical device housing and clean-part programs, these identifiers support controlled traceability across disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly. The plate-only or plate-plus-bolt form factor suits different workflows: plate-only for fixtures or custom mounting, and bolt-installed for repeatable installation during scheduled maintenance.

When used as part of a larger accessory set, this variant is suited because it is designed to match specific name plate system types (including PKNP and PKNPS), improving labeling consistency and ensuring the tag remains stable under handling and routine environmental exposure.

The provided product metadata specifies the sales form (only plates vs. plate + installation bolt) but does not include a steel grade, hardness (HRC), heat-treatment condition, or surface treatment details. Therefore, material-specific properties such as wear resistance vs. toughness trade-offs cannot be stated from the available data.

For mold traceability accessories, engineers typically select hardened, corrosion-tolerant plate options when labels experience frequent handling, cleaning chemicals, or workshop abrasion; however, this exact grade and treatment (e.g., pre-hardened, quenched & tempered, or nitrided) are not provided here.

• Material selection note: If your application requires specific corrosion or wear behavior, request the plate material grade and any heat treatment/surface finish documentation for this series code.
• Compatibility note: Confirm the plate system type compatibility (PKNP/PKNPS) for the intended mounting hardware and label format.

This series defines the name plate accessory selection mainly by sales form: Only plates or Plate + Installation bolt. To select the correct “dimension set” for your mold, match the plate format to the intended name-plate system type used on your tooling (including PKNP and PKNPS).

Because no explicit plate length, width, thickness, or bolt diameter/range is provided in the input data, dimension selection should be based on the existing mounting features on your mold base or accessory location. Compare the plate’s expected outline and mounting hole pattern against your current holder/groove or against the manufacturer’s name plate interface for PKNP/PKNPS.

• Plate-only: Choose when you already have the correct mounting method or bracket and need to replace the identifier surface only.
• Plate + bolt: Choose when you want a complete installation set to fit the corresponding mounting position with repeatable alignment.
• Tolerance/fit: Verify fit by checking hole positions against the mold’s installed threaded feature; exact tolerances are not listed in the provided specifications.
