About the 96977A152 Press-Fit Drill Bushing, 3mm ID Head
McMaster-Carr catalogue number 96977A152 is a headed press-fit drill bushing with a 3 mm bore in a 6 mm outside diameter, 5.5 mm long overall, so the wall around the bore is 1.5 mm. Bushings of this family are pressed directly into a jig or fixture plate, where they act as a guide that keeps hole centres and drill angle consistent across a batch of parts. The distinguishing feature of this size is its short body: at 5.5 mm the overall length is under twice the bore diameter, so it is proportioned for thin jig plates and shallow bushing bosses rather than for deep guidance, and it adds very little height above the work. The head is a flange at the top of the bushing that rests on the plate face and resists the thrust of the drill. The bore takes 3 mm drills, the usual size for M3 clearance and pilot holes.

Typical applications
The short 5.5 mm body suits template-style jigs made from thin plate: drill templates for sheet-metal panels, cover plates and repair doublers. A 3 mm guided hole covers M3 clearance and pilot holes on brackets, enclosure fittings and small structural repairs. Tooling of this size tends to sit in maintenance and modification fixtures rather than in heavy production jigs.
