5/32 x 7/8 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) supports economical retention in hinges, pivots, and light mechanical joints. Use the three names together when cross-checking older maintenance notes, bills of material, or shop requests. The retaining action comes from spring force and friction at the hole wall, not from threads, adhesive, or staking.

In electronics assemblies, appliance hardware, and light mechanical frames, the headless form keeps the joint compact after installation. Where stainless material and precision location are both required, 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pins may fit the drawing better.

Cold Headers can assist when drawings, service records, and replacement needs call for an exact spring pin size. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
