Value Collection IDP416-156-375-F09 Dowel Pin 5/32x3/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION IDP416-156-375-F09 is a precision dowel pin machined from Grade 416 stainless steel and finished with a passivated coating. It measures 5/32 inch in diameter and 3/8 inch in overall length, with a diameter tolerance held to 0.0000 to 0.0002 inch for consistent, press-fit alignment. The beveled end aids guided insertion into blind or through holes. Hardness runs 36-42 HRC, providing resistance to wear and deformation under load. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in fixtures, jigs, molds, and mechanical assemblies where repeatable part alignment is required.

This dowel pin is suited for precision alignment applications in manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The Grade 416 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications where mild corrosion resistance is needed alongside high hardness. The passivated finish meets ASTM A380-88 passivation standards. Typical installations include die sets, machine fixtures, pump housings, and other assemblies requiring close-tolerance locating pins. These pins are sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Key Features

• Grade 416 stainless steel with passivated finish per ASTM A380-88
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0000 to 0.0002 inch for precision press-fit alignment
• 36-42 HRC hardness for wear resistance under cyclic loading
• Beveled end for guided, damage-free insertion
• Compact 5/32 inch diameter by 3/8 inch length for space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in fixtures, jigs, molds, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter close-tolerance dowel pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with a suitable driver to avoid damaging the pin or bore. Always ensure the receiving hole is reamed to the correct diameter and is free of chips and burrs before pressing the pin into place. Disengage all energy sources and secure the workpiece before installation. Do not attempt to install by striking the pin directly on the end face, as this can damage the beveled entry and distort the tolerance zone.
