3/32 x 3 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) is a spring steel slotted pin used where the pin must compress on entry and push back after seating. Use the three names together when cross-checking older maintenance notes, bills of material, or shop requests. A normal drilled hole at production tolerance is typically the economic advantage over precision reamed dowel-pin holes.

This size is often reviewed for fixture stops, temporary tooling, and production aids when a self-retaining driven pin is specified. For blind holes where removal access matters, Pull Dowel Pins are the related locating-pin option to review.

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.
