It features a trapezoidal wire cross-section, which increases load capacity and fatigue life compared to round-wire designs. The spring has a free length of 1.5 inches (38 mm), a rod diameter of 8 mm, and a hole diameter of 16 mm. Constructed from chromium alloy steel and color-coded blue, it carries a maximum deflection load of 488.20 N at a maximum deflection of 14.40 mm, with a spring rate of 193.57 N\/mm. This part is installed by toolmakers, die maintenance technicians, and precision press operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 204-306 die spring is suited for precision die and mold applications in industrial manufacturing environments. The blue color designation indicates a medium load classification under ISO 10243, making it appropriate for moderate-force press and stamping tooling. It fits standard die set configurations accepting an 8 mm rod and a 16 mm hole, and it is commonly used in metal stamping, plastic injection mold tooling, and fixture applications where consistent spring return force is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapezoidal wire shape increases load capacity and extends fatigue life over round-wire alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree length of 1.5 inches (38 mm) with a maximum deflection of 14.40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring rate of 193.57 N\/mm for predictable, repeatable force output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue color coding indicates medium load class per ISO 10243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium alloy steel construction for durability under high-cycle press conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured under ISO 9001:2008, ISO\/TS 16949:2009, and TUV Rheinland registration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for standard ISO 10243 die springs with an 8 mm rod diameter and a 16 mm hole diameter in medium-load blue classification applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie spring installation and replacement should be performed by qualified toolmakers or die maintenance personnel with the press fully de-energized and all stored energy released. Ensure the rod and hole dimensions match the spring specifications before seating. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 14.40 mm during installation or operation. Inspect the seating surfaces for wear or damage before installing a replacement spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (38 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel to Solid Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Deflection Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 488.20 N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 193.57 N\/mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trapezoidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chromium Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANAB Accredited, ISO 9001:2008, ISO\/TS 16949:2009, TUV Rheinland Registered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASSOCIATED SPRING RAYMOND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 204-306\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASSOCIATED SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52088204230962,"sku":"204-306","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/17b813aefaf60c2d10d5f981f97fd052.jpg?v=1790060933","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/associated-spring-raymond-204-306-die-spring-1-5-in-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
