It provides secure mechanical engagement between mold components, maintaining alignment and clamping force under the repetitive cycling demands of die casting and injection molding operations. The TPL-333 features a 5\/16-18 thread size and measures 1.38 inches in height, 1.5 inches in width, and 1.38 inches in length. At 0.5 pounds, it is a compact, precision-machined piece of tooling hardware installed by mold makers, tooling technicians, and die shop professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis component is designed for use in die cast mold assemblies and injection mold tooling. It serves as a replacement or supplemental hardware element in mold blank and punch die set configurations where taper lock or interlock retention is required. Typical installation occurs during mold build, mold repair, or tooling maintenance in industrial manufacturing environments. It is sold individually and ships in a package quantity of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper lock and interlock design for secure mold component retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 thread size for standard tooling integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor: 1.38 inches height, 1.5 inches width, 1.38 inches length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling during mold assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with die cast mold and injection mold applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging — sold as one piece per order\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 or interlock hardware with a 5\/16-18 thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified mold makers or tooling technicians. Before servicing any mold assembly, ensure all associated machinery is fully powered down, de-energized, and locked out per facility lockout\/tagout procedures. Verify thread engagement and alignment prior to final seating. Use appropriate torque practices consistent with the mold manufacturer's assembly guidelines and applicable shop standards.\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: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.38 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-333\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699657703730,"sku":"TPL-333","price":169.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6f85e46cadf164b136a1fa2e2fc125dd.jpg?v=1788378797","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-tpl-333-taper-lock-interlock-mold-hardware","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
