5/32 x 2 3/4 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) provides headless fastening for compact joints where a screw head or nut would interfere. Use the three names together when cross-checking older maintenance notes, bills of material, or shop requests. The chamfered ends support driving from either side, while the open slot allows compression during installation.
Common uses include hinge and pivot joints, covers, and small linkage assemblies, where the pin retains parts without a threaded fastener. When the design requires repeatable precision location, compare Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pins with a reamed hole and ground pin.
Cold Headers has supplied specialty fasteners since 1962 and helps buyers confirm exact pin sizes for maintenance or production requirements. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
