Overview
This 304 stainless steel split pin is a fundamental, non-threaded retaining fastener engineered for secure and removable connections in mechanical assemblies. It functions by inserting through a cross-drilled hole in a shaft or clevis pin, after which its two tines are manually bent apart to lock it in place. This action prevents the secured component from sliding or detaching. The plain finish and 304 stainless steel construction provide reliable corrosion resistance for general industrial, marine, and outdoor applications where exposure to moisture is a concern. Supplied in a bulk package of 100 units, it offers cost-effective inventory for maintenance kits and production line use.
