It provides secure mechanical interlocking within mold tooling systems, maintaining alignment and positional integrity under the repetitive forces of die cast and injection molding cycles. The TPL-335 features a 5\/16-18 thread size and measures 1.13 inches in height, 2 inches in width, and 1.13 inches in length. At 0.5 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece component suited for precision tooling environments where consistent fitment and reliable locking action are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TPL-335 is designed for use in die cast mold and injection mold applications. It functions as a replacement or supplemental hardware component within mold base assemblies, punch die sets, and similar tooling configurations. Mold designers, toolmakers, and die maintenance technicians working in production machining and plastics or metalcasting environments will find this component applicable to standard mold blank setups where taper lock or interlock retention is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper lock and interlock design for secure retention in mold and die assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 thread size for standard mold hardware compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor: 1.13 inches height, 2 inches width, 1.13 inches length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.5 pounds, minimizing added mass in precision tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece unit packaged individually for direct replacement use\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 where taper lock or interlock mold blank hardware with a 5\/16-18 thread size is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by toolmakers or die maintenance technicians during mold assembly or component replacement. Ensure the mold assembly is fully de-energized, depressurized, and cooled before beginning any hardware service. Use appropriately sized hand tools and verify thread engagement before applying torque to avoid thread damage in the mold base. Follow your facility safety procedures and tooling manufacturer guidelines when working within punch die or injection mold assemblies.\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\u003eProduct Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Die Cast Mold, Injection Mold\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: 1.13 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.13 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-335\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702261350706,"sku":"TPL-335","price":234.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/23518599b71b97ba175eb783120ddf9a.jpg?v=1788410229","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-tpl-335-taper-lock-interlock-mold-hardware","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
