1/16 x 5/8 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) helps retain mating parts through spring force against the hole wall. Tension pin, slotted spring pin, and roll pin describe the same slotted self-retaining pin style. The published OD range of 0.066-0.069 in. is larger than the 0.062-0.065 in. recommended hole range by design.
In sheet metal stacks, alignment-plus-retention work, and panel assemblies, the headless form keeps the joint compact after installation. For wet outdoor exposure, keep plain spring steel oiled and indoors or ask Cold Headers about stainless spring pins as a non-catalog item.
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.
