5/16 x 2 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) is intended for driven installation where the slot closes as the pin enters the hole. Tension pin, slotted spring pin, and roll pin describe the same slotted self-retaining pin style. The chamfered ends support driving from either side, while the open slot allows compression during installation.

This size is often reviewed for jigs, fixtures, and shop tooling where precision location is not the driver 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 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.
