Gibraltar HEP3608-G Straight Ejector Pin 3/8 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR HEP3608-G is a straight ejector pin used in injection mold tooling to push finished parts out of the mold cavity at the end of each cycle. It features a 3/8 inch pin diameter and a 10 inch overall length, with a 9-3/4 inch pin length and a 5/8 inch head diameter. Constructed from steel with a nitride finish, this pin is built to resist wear and withstand the repetitive loading conditions typical in production mold environments. Mold makers, toolroom machinists, and die maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This ejector pin is suited for use in plastic injection molds across a wide range of industries including automotive, consumer products, and industrial equipment manufacturing. It fits applications where a standard straight pin geometry is required and the mold design calls for a 3/8 inch bore. The nitride finish provides surface hardness that extends service life in high-cycle tooling. The 1/4 inch head height allows proper seating in standard ejector pin retainer plates.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch pin diameter for standard mold bore fitment
• 10 inch overall length with 9-3/4 inch usable pin length
• 5/8 inch head diameter and 1/4 inch head height for retainer plate compatibility
• Steel construction with nitride finish for wear resistance
• Straight ejector geometry for direct part ejection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight ejector pin replacement for injection mold tooling that requires a 3/8 inch pin diameter and 10 inch overall length with a nitride-finished steel pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mold makers or toolroom technicians during mold build or maintenance. The mold should be fully de-energized, cooled, and depressurized before ejector pin replacement. Pins must be seated fully in the retainer plate and verified for free travel through the ejector pin bore before the mold is returned to service. Do not grind or alter the head geometry without verifying compatibility with the retainer plate design.
