Gibraltar MLP908-G Die Mold Leader Pin 0.625in Oal 2.75in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MLP908-G is a die mold leader pin machined from nickel chromium molybdenum steel for use in die and mold tooling applications. It features a pin diameter of 0.625 inches, an overall length of 2.75 inches, a head diameter of 0.75 inches, and a head height of 0.1875 inches. The alloy construction provides high strength, wear resistance, and toughness under the cyclic loading typical of production stamping and molding environments. This component is installed and serviced by tool and die makers, mold technicians, and maintenance machinists working on press tooling and injection mold assemblies.

Leader pins are used in die sets and injection mold bases to align the upper and lower halves of a mold or die during each press cycle. The MLP908-G is suited for applications requiring a 0.625-inch diameter leader pin with a headed retention style. It is a direct-fit replacement or spare component for tooling that specifies this pin diameter and overall length. Typical install environments include stamping presses, injection molding machines, and progressive die assemblies in both job shop and production floor settings.

Key Features

• Nickel chromium molybdenum steel construction for high strength and fatigue resistance
• 0.625-inch pin diameter for precise bore fit in standard leader pin bushings
• 2.75-inch overall length accommodates standard die set stack heights
• 0.75-inch head diameter with 0.1875-inch head height for positive retention against the die plate
• Sold individually, allowing single-pin replacement without full set purchase

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or spare for die sets and mold bases requiring a headed leader pin with a 0.625-inch pin diameter and 2.75-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tool and die makers or mold technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the press or molding machine before servicing die or mold components. Ensure the mating leader pin bushing bore diameter and length are matched to this pin before installation. Inspect mating bushings for wear or scoring before reinstalling a new leader pin.
