Value Collection MS35338-41 Split Lock Washer No 6 Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35338-41 is a Number 6 split lock washer made from spring steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. It meets military specification MS35338, making it suitable for applications requiring controlled fastener standards. The washer functions by applying tension against a fastened joint, resisting loosening from vibration or torque. The inside diameter ranges from 0.141 to 0.148 inches with a maximum outside diameter of 0.25 inches and a thickness of 0.031 inches. At 0.0028 pounds per unit, this washer is sized for light-duty fastening in precision assemblies. Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and field service trades working with Number 6 fasteners in mil-spec or commercial applications.

This split lock washer is intended for use with Number 6 screws in assemblies where vibration resistance and fastener retention are required. It is suited for electrical enclosures, control panels, light structural brackets, and general mechanical assemblies that call for mil-spec hardware. The zinc yellow dichromate finish provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. This part conforms to the MS35338 fastener standard and is appropriate for both military and commercial procurement contexts where that specification is called out.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Number 6 screws in assemblies specifying MS35338-standard split lock washers in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Split lock washers are installed between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface before final torque is applied. Place the washer flat side down against the work surface and split side up toward the fastener bearing surface. Do not reuse split lock washers that have been fully compressed flat, as they will no longer provide adequate spring tension. Follow applicable assembly standards or mil-spec documentation for torque sequence when used in spec-controlled assemblies.
