Gibraltar TPL-330 Taper Lock Interlock Die Set Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR TPL-330 is a taper lock and interlock mold blank and punch die set hardware component designed for precision tooling applications. It provides secure locking engagement in mold assemblies, maintaining alignment and positional integrity under the repetitive forces typical in die cast and injection molding operations. Weighing 0.5 pounds and measuring 1.19 inches in height, 1 inch in width, and 1.19 inches in length, the TPL-330 is a compact, drop-in replacement hardware piece. It uses a 1/4-20 thread size, which is a standard unified coarse thread commonly found in die set and mold base configurations.

The TPL-330 is suited for use in die cast mold assemblies and injection mold tooling setups. It is typically installed during mold base construction, mold repair, or tooling maintenance. Toolmakers, moldmakers, and precision machining professionals are the primary installers. The compact geometry and standard thread make it a practical fit for production tooling environments where consistent hardware standardization across mold sets is required.

Key Features

• Taper lock and interlock design for reliable positional retention in mold assemblies
• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread for compatibility with standard mold base hardware
• Compact footprint: 1.19 inches height, 1 inch width, 1.19 inches length
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling during tooling assembly
• Sold individually (package quantity of 1)

Compatibility

Designed for use with die cast mold and injection mold assemblies requiring taper lock or interlock style punch die set hardware with 1/4-20 thread sizing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified toolmakers or moldmakers in a machine shop or toolroom environment. Ensure the mold assembly is fully de-energized, depressurized, and cooled before servicing any internal hardware components. Use calibrated torque tooling appropriate for 1/4-20 fastener specifications as defined by the mold base manufacturer. Verify thread engagement and alignment before returning the mold to production service.
