Value Collection 03308004 Compression Spring 0.3in Od Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308004 is a small-diameter compression spring manufactured from stainless steel and intended for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment where corrosion resistance and consistent spring force are required. It measures 0.3 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 0.5 inches and a wire diameter of 0.02 inches. The spring delivers a rated spring rate of 3.54 pounds per inch and supports a maximum working load of 1.19 pounds. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and OEM assemblers typically specify this part when building or servicing compact mechanisms that need reliable return force in a tight space.

This compression spring is suited for residential and commercial mechanical applications including instrumentation, small appliance assemblies, electronic enclosures, fluid control components, and general industrial fixtures. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals. It fits into a hole diameter of 0.3130 inches and compresses to a solid height of 0.089 inches, making it compatible with shallow cavity designs where travel distance is limited.

Key Features

• Outside diameter of 0.3 inches fits standard 0.3130-inch hole diameters
• Free length of 0.5 inches with a solid height of 0.089 inches for compact stroke range
• Spring rate of 3.54 pounds per inch provides predictable, linear resistance
• Maximum working load of 1.19 pounds suitable for light-duty return and positioning applications
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Wire diameter of 0.02 inches for fine-pitch coil geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose compression spring for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch outside diameter and 0.5-inch free length form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation of this compression spring typically requires no special tools beyond standard hand assembly equipment. Ensure the mating bore or housing is clean and within the specified hole diameter tolerance before seating the spring. Verify that the spring is not driven beyond its solid height during operation, as coil binding can cause premature fatigue failure. When used in electrical or instrumented assemblies, follow applicable equipment lockout procedures before servicing.
