Machined from steel, this leader pin measures 1.249 inches in pin diameter with an overall length of 4.75 inches and a head diameter of 1.49 inches with a head height of 0.3125 inches. The OAL tolerance is +0.0000 \/ -0.0600 inches, providing controlled fit for repeatable mold alignment. Toolmakers and mold technicians install this component when building or refurbishing press tooling that requires precise pin-and-bushing guidance systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis leader pin is suited for use in injection mold bases, compression molds, and die casting tooling where accurate mold half alignment is critical to part quality and tooling longevity. The steel construction provides durability under repeated press cycles. It is sized for applications requiring a 1.249-inch diameter pin and is sold individually, making it practical for single-pin replacements as well as new tool builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin diameter of 1.249 inches for precise bushing fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 4.75 inches with a +0.0000 \/ -0.0600 inch OAL tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead diameter of 1.49 inches and head height of 0.3125 inches for positive shoulder seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for high-cycle durability in mold and die tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually with a minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for die mold bases and tooling assemblies requiring a 1.249-inch diameter leader pin with a 4.75-inch overall length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified toolmakers or mold technicians during mold build or repair. Ensure the press or molding machine is fully de-energized and locked out before removing or installing leader pins. The leader pin should be pressed or driven into the mold plate bore to the designed seating depth using appropriate tooling to avoid damaging the head or bore surfaces. Verify pin and bushing clearances according to the mold design specifications before returning the tool to production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.249 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.49 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOAL Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.69 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MLP969-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717437587762,"sku":"MLP969-G","price":63.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/89c929b0c883a5b1530211e77c965188_1ec96e24-416e-4fcd-bb53-0212d2a40b61.jpg?v=1788540459","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-mlp969-g-die-mold-leader-pin-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
