Gibraltar CP4235-G Soft Core Pin 3/32 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP4235-G is a soft core pin used in workholding, fixturing, and general industrial assembly applications. The pin features a 3/32-inch shank diameter with a 1/4-inch head diameter and an overall length of 3 inches, including a 1/8-inch head height and 2-7/8-inch pin length. Constructed from steel with a soft hardness rating, this pin is designed to seat into locating holes or fixtures where a non-hardened, easily replaceable pin is required. Machinists, toolmakers, and assembly technicians install these pins in jigs, dies, and fixture plates.

Soft core pins are commonly used in manufacturing and fabrication environments where precise part location is needed without the brittleness or cost associated with hardened pins. Typical applications include locating workpieces on fixture plates, aligning components during sub-assembly, and serving as replaceable stops or guides in production tooling. These pins are sold individually and are suited for both bench-level repair work and new fixture builds.

Key Features

• Soft core steel construction allows for easy replacement and reduced risk of fixture damage during removal
• 3/32-inch pin diameter for use in standard small-bore locating holes
• 1/4-inch head diameter provides a positive shoulder for controlled seating depth
• 3-inch overall length with 2-7/8-inch usable pin length
• Compact and lightweight at 0.04 pounds per pin

Compatibility

Designed as a standard soft core locating pin for use in industrial jigs, fixture plates, and tooling assemblies requiring a 3/32-inch bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or toolmakers using standard hand tools or a small press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of burrs before inserting the pin. Because the core is soft, avoid excessive force that could deform the shank. Pins should be replaced rather than reused if deformation or wear is observed.
