It provides secure mechanical engagement between mold components through a threaded fastening system with a 1\/4-20 thread size. Measuring 1 inch in width and 0.69 inches in both height and length, this compact part weighs approximately 0.5 pounds. It is typically installed by toolmakers, moldmakers, and die set technicians working in precision manufacturing environments where repeatable alignment and tight tolerances are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis component is suited for die cast mold and injection mold applications where positive interlocking between mold halves or punch and die assemblies is necessary. The taper lock design allows for consistent positioning and load transfer during high-cycle mold operations. It is commonly used in both production tooling and replacement maintenance scenarios on existing mold sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper lock and interlock design for secure mechanical engagement in mold assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 thread size for standard fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact footprint: 1 inch wide by 0.69 inches in height and length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling during mold setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with die cast and injection mold applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit with minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in die cast mold and injection mold assemblies requiring taper lock and interlock hardware with a 1\/4-20 thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by qualified toolmakers or moldmakers during mold assembly or maintenance. Ensure the mold press is fully depressurized and locked out before servicing any mold hardware components. Use calibrated hand tools appropriate for 1\/4-20 fasteners and verify seating alignment of the taper lock interface before applying final torque. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and manufacturer guidelines for the specific mold system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper Lock \/ Interlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: TPL-328\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51718822297906,"sku":"TPL-328","price":111.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/77902803322ca6739a25f8155661d154.jpg?v=1788555781","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-tpl-328-taper-lock-interlock-mold-hardware","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
