1/16 x 3/16 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) is a spring steel roll pin for economical retention in a drilled hole. In search and purchasing records, this part may be called a tension pin, slotted spring pin, or roll pin. The pin OD is intentionally larger than the recommended hole before insertion, and the slot gives the diameter somewhere to close during driving.

Common uses include hinge and pivot joints, covers, and small linkage assemblies, where the pin retains parts without a threaded fastener. When the design requires repeatable precision location, compare Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pins with a reamed hole and ground pin.

Cold Headers has supplied specialty fasteners since 1962 and helps buyers confirm exact pin sizes for maintenance or production requirements. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
