Gibraltar MLP920-G Die Mold Leader Pin 0.749 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MLP920-G is a die mold leader pin used in injection molds, stamping dies, and similar tooling applications to maintain precise alignment between mold halves or die plates. Constructed from steel, this leader pin features a 0.749 inch pin diameter and an overall length of 5.75 inches. The head measures 0.999 inches in diameter and 3/16 inch in height. An OAL tolerance of +0.0000/-0.0600 inches ensures controlled fit during installation. Toolmakers, die makers, and mold technicians install this type of component as part of routine tooling builds or maintenance overhauls.

This leader pin is suited for use in metal stamping dies, plastic injection molds, and compression mold tooling where repeatable alignment is critical to part quality and die life. It is appropriate for both new tooling construction and replacement of worn or damaged pins in existing mold sets. The single-piece steel construction provides the rigidity required in high-cycle tooling environments common in production manufacturing shops.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement leader pin for die and mold assemblies requiring a 0.749 inch nominal pin diameter and 5.75 inch overall length. Verify die plate bore dimensions and leader pin retention method before installation.

Installation Notes

Die mold leader pins are typically installed by toolmakers or tool and die technicians in a machine shop or tool room setting. Ensure the mold or die set is fully de-energized, depressurized, and secured in a safe position before removing or installing leader pins. A press fit is common for this pin style — confirm the interference or clearance fit specification for your specific tooling before driving the pin into the retainer plate. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable tooling standards when servicing die components.
