3/16 x 1 7/8 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) gives a compact spring-steel fastening option for assemblies that need retention rather than ground-pin location. The catalog term is tension pin, while many drawings use slotted spring pin and many shops say roll pin. The chamfered ends support driving from either side, while the open slot allows compression during installation.

For maintenance spare kits, repair benches, or field replacement work, check the drilled-hole range, pin length, and access for driving the pin squarely. If the joint must locate parts precisely rather than retain them economically, a dowel pin is usually the product family to check.

For repair operations, distributors, and OEM sourcing, Cold Headers can help match the item number, diameter, length, and standard. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
