Value Collection 03307741 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03307741 is a small-diameter compression spring manufactured from stainless steel, designed to store and release mechanical energy under axial compressive loads. With an outside diameter of 0.12 inches, a free length of 0.5 inches, and a wire diameter of 0.02 inches, this spring is suited for tight-tolerance assemblies where corrosion resistance and consistent spring rate are required. The spring delivers a rate of 17.41 lb/in and a maximum work load of 2.83 lb, making it appropriate for light-duty mechanical, instrumentation, or precision equipment applications. Technicians and assemblers working in HVAC controls, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical components, or general industrial equipment will find this spring useful for replacing worn or broken OEM compression springs.

This spring is intended for use in applications requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant compression element. Typical installation scenarios include valve return mechanisms, switch actuators, latch assemblies, and small instrumentation housings where space is limited and consistent load performance is critical. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. It is compatible with through-holes up to 0.125 inches in diameter, which must be verified against the mating assembly before installation.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.12 inches for compact, tight-clearance installations
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Spring rate of 17.41 lb/in delivers predictable, repeatable load response
• Maximum work load of 2.83 lb suitable for light-duty mechanical assemblies
• Solid height of 0.28 inches limits deflection to prevent coil binding
• Fits holes up to 0.125 inches in diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.12 inch outside diameter and 0.5 inch free length stainless steel spring.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or assemblers during component servicing or equipment repair. Confirm the mating bore diameter does not exceed 0.125 inches and that the assembly allows for the full 0.5 inch free length before seating. Verify the spring is fully seated and concentric with its mating components before applying load. Always de-energize or depressurize the host assembly before replacing internal spring components.
