Jergens 801038 Quick-release Pin T-handle 5/16 in

Product Description

The JERGENS 801038 is a push-button quick-release pin with a T-handle, designed for fast, tool-free installation and removal in industrial, military, and aerospace applications. The pin body is 17-4 stainless steel with a passivated finish, providing corrosion resistance and high tensile strength. It measures 5/16 inches in diameter with a 2 inch usable length and a 3-5/8 inch overall length. The 440C stainless steel locking balls carry a Rockwell C40 hardness rating. The aluminum T-handle allows secure grip and fast actuation. With a double-shear breaking strength of 14,400 pounds, this pin is built for demanding structural and mechanical retention applications.

This quick-release pin suits industrial maintenance, tooling fixtures, military equipment, and aerospace assemblies where rapid pin removal is required without tools. The push-button mechanism allows single-handed operation, making it practical for access panels, hinged covers, jigs, and fixtures. It is commonly specified on equipment subject to MIL-spec and AMS-standard requirements. Maintenance technicians, tooling engineers, and field service personnel across manufacturing, defense, and aerospace sectors routinely install this type of pin where cycle time and reliability both matter.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or direct-replacement quick-release pin for industrial, military, and aerospace fixtures and assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch diameter push-button retention pin with a T-handle.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools - insert the pin through aligned holes until the locking balls engage the retention groove, and press the button to release. Ensure hole diameter and material thickness match the 5/16 inch pin diameter and 2 inch usable length before installation. Follow applicable MIL-spec or facility safety procedures when servicing assemblies under load or pressure. Inspect locking balls and button action for wear or corrosion at regular service intervals.
