5/32 x 3 1/2 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) is built around the slotted spring-pin principle: free diameter larger than the recommended hole. The slotted construction is the reason this same fastener is commonly indexed as a spring pin or roll pin. The slot accommodates the difference between the 0.162-0.167 in. free OD and the smaller 0.156-0.160 in. hole.

In latch mechanisms, lock hardware, and service doors, the headless form keeps the joint compact after installation. For worn precision holes, 0.001 Oversize Dowel Pins may be the better repair path than using a spring pin.

Cold Headers brings long-running industrial fastener experience to tension-pin quoting, cross-checking, and size confirmation. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
