Value Collection 03307683 Compression Spring 0.12in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307683 is a small-diameter compression spring manufactured from stainless steel. It is designed to store and release mechanical energy under axial load, functioning as a standard open-coil compression spring in light-duty mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and industrial equipment. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and a free length of 1 inch, this spring delivers a spring rate of 1.19 lb/in and a maximum work load of 0.69 lb. The 0.012-inch wire diameter and stainless steel construction make it well-suited for applications requiring corrosion resistance in tight spaces. Mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and production engineers are the typical end users for this component.

This compression spring is used in precision mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, electronic hardware, medical devices, and general industrial fixtures where a small-form-factor return or load spring is required. The 0.12-inch outside diameter fits within holes up to 0.125 inches in diameter, making it compatible with close-tolerance bored features. Its stainless steel material holds up in humid, washdown, or mildly corrosive environments where carbon steel springs would degrade. Sold in packages of 10 units, it suits both production builds and maintenance stock.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.12 inches fits holes sized at 0.125 inches
• Free length of 1 inch with a solid height of 0.234 inches
• Spring rate of 1.19 lb/in for predictable, linear load response
• Maximum work load rated at 0.69 lb
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Wire diameter of 0.012 inches supports precise, low-force applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12-inch OD, 1-inch free length component with a 0.125-inch hole diameter fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore or guide pin is clean and free of burrs before seating the spring to prevent coil binding or premature fatigue. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.234 inches during assembly or operation. Stainless steel springs should not be mixed with dissimilar metals in applications where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
