3/16 x 1 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pin is used when the assembly needs a cylindrical locator rather than a threaded fastener carrying the lateral location load.
Pharma and cleanroom tooling can specify stainless dowel pins where clean material policy and repeatable fixture location are both important. For dry service where a hardened pin is specified, review Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pins instead of substituting stainless. Use the nominal diameter, tolerance band, and length together; the dowel sets location while separate fasteners provide clamping force.
Cold Headers can quote non-catalog diameters and lengths when the drawing calls for a stainless dowel outside the standard listed range.
