Value Collection 03307691 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307691 is a miniature compression spring manufactured from stainless steel, designed for applications requiring a small, corrosion-resistant return or load element. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and a free length of 0.25 inches, this spring delivers a spring rate of 15.72 lb/in and a maximum work load of 1.54 lb. The 0.016-inch wire diameter and compact solid height of 0.119 inches make it well suited for precision mechanical assemblies where space is limited. Typically installed by mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, or assembly technicians working on instruments, valves, or light mechanical devices.

This compression spring is used in a wide range of small-scale mechanical applications, including instrument housings, pneumatic or hydraulic valve assemblies, light-duty latching mechanisms, and precision equipment. Its stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and moderate heat, making it appropriate for environments where mild chemical exposure or moisture may be present. The spring is packaged in quantities of 10 per package, suitable for bench stock or small-batch assembly work.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.12 inches suits tight bore or housing constraints
• Free length of 0.25 inches with a solid height of 0.119 inches
• Spring rate of 15.72 lb/in provides predictable, consistent load response
• Maximum work load rated at 1.54 lb
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Packaged in quantities of 10 per package for efficient bench stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose miniature compression spring suitable for precision mechanical assemblies, valve components, and instrumentation requiring a 0.12-inch OD form factor.

Installation Notes

Compression springs of this size are typically installed by mechanical or instrumentation technicians using small hand tools such as needle-nose pliers or precision picks. Ensure the mating bore diameter accommodates the 0.125-inch hole diameter specification before installation. Verify that the installed load does not exceed the rated maximum work load of 1.54 lb to avoid permanent set or spring failure. Depressurize or de-energize any associated system before servicing the spring assembly.
