Value Collection 03307659 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307659 is a miniature compression spring manufactured from stainless steel, designed for light-duty mechanical applications requiring a small form factor and corrosion resistance. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and a free length of 0.25 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 5.26 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 0.69 pounds. The 0.012-inch wire diameter and compact solid height of 0.081 inches make it suitable for precise, space-constrained assemblies. Mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and OEM assembly operators typically source this spring for instrumentation, valves, latches, and similar small mechanism applications.

This compression spring fits installations where a maximum hole diameter of 0.125 inches is available. Its stainless steel construction offers resistance to oxidation and mild corrosive environments, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor mechanical assemblies. Typical applications include instrument panels, electronic enclosures, fluid control valves, medical devices, and small appliance mechanisms where a low-force, short-travel compression element is required. Each package contains 10 springs, allowing for multiple installations or replacement stock from a single order.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation in demanding environments
• Outside diameter of 0.12 inches fits tight bore and housing applications
• Spring rate of 5.26 pounds per inch provides consistent, predictable deflection force
• Maximum work load of 0.69 pounds suits light-duty clamping, latching, and return-force applications
• Solid height of 0.081 inches allows use in highly compressed or space-limited assemblies
• Sold in a package of 10 for serviceability and replacement stock convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose miniature compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a maximum hole diameter of 0.125 inches and a free length of 0.25 inches. No specific OEM model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel familiar with small spring assemblies. Ensure the mating bore or housing does not exceed 0.125 inches in diameter to maintain proper spring seating and alignment. Confirm the assembly is de-energized and depressurized before replacing springs in valve or actuator applications. Avoid overcompressing beyond the solid height of 0.081 inches, as this can cause permanent set and loss of spring rate.
