5/32 x 1 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) is a roll pin for assemblies where self-retention and simple drilled-hole preparation matter. The slotted construction is the reason this same fastener is commonly indexed as a spring pin or roll pin. The retaining action comes from spring force and friction at the hole wall, not from threads, adhesive, or staking.

This size is often reviewed for sheet metal stacks, alignment-plus-retention work, and panel assemblies when a self-retaining driven pin is specified. If the joint must locate parts precisely rather than retain them economically, a dowel pin is usually the product family to check.

Cold Headers supports hard-to-find pin sourcing, including uncommon lengths and exact diameter-length combinations. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
