Gibraltar MLP924-G Die Mold Leader Pin Steel 0.749in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MLP924-G is a die mold leader pin designed to guide and align mold halves during the closing and opening cycle of injection molds and die casting tooling. Machined from steel, this leader pin measures 0.749 inches in pin diameter and 7.75 inches in overall length (OAL). The head measures 0.999 inches in diameter and 3/16 inches in head height. The OAL tolerance is +0.0000 / -0.0600 inches, providing a controlled fit suited to precision mold applications. Toolmakers, moldmakers, and die shop technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This leader pin is used in injection mold bases, die casting dies, and stamping die sets where repeatable, accurate alignment between mold or die halves is required. It is appropriate for both production tooling and prototype mold assemblies. Applications include plastic injection molds in residential and commercial manufacturing environments where mold longevity and alignment precision directly affect part quality and tool life.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-build leader pin for die mold bases requiring a 0.749 inch diameter leader pin with a 7.75 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or moldmakers during mold build or scheduled tooling maintenance. The mold should be fully de-energized, cooled, and safely supported in a press or on a mold bench before replacing leader pins. Proper press-fit or slip-fit procedures should follow the mold base manufacturer specifications. Inspect the corresponding leader pin bushing for wear before installing a new pin.
