DIN 8140-1 (or DIN 8140-1A to be exact) is the standard for wire inserts for ISO metric screws.
It consists of 147 unique sizes from M2.5 to M39 and comes in two materials. The latest revision is from 2022. You can purchase part 1 of the standard from DIN here.
147 sizes * 2 materials = 294 files

European engineers love DIN standards, but most DIN standards were withdrawn in 1992. Most of them have an ISO replacement.
We only offer fasteners for active standards because we purchase the standard document and use it as a source for our fastener models.
Lock and spring washers do not work well so their standards are withdrawn without a replacement.
We were tired of scrolling through endless lists of fasteners in SOLIDWORKS, so we built Lightning. Lightning makes it easy to add, edit and replace fasteners.
Just open the filter, pick a type, size and material, then drag the file into your assembly. Lightning will add a washer and/or a pattern for you.
