Value Collection WL5X2375SQ-22 Snap Locking Pin 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WL5X2375SQ-22 is a standard snap locking pin with a double wire spring retainer, designed for quick-release fastening applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The pin measures 0.3120 inches maximum in diameter (nominal 5/16 inch) with an overall length of 3 inches and a usable length of 2-3/8 inches. Constructed from 1010 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate plated finish, it resists corrosion in light-duty service environments. The square retainer shape and double wire design provide positive retention and allow tool-free removal. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians working with clevis pins, linkages, and quick-connect mechanisms will find this pin a reliable fastening component.

This snap locking pin is suited for use in general industrial, agricultural, and mechanical maintenance settings where a removable, self-retaining pin is required. It fits applications involving hinges, yokes, levers, and clevis assemblies where repeated connect and disconnect cycles are expected. The zinc yellow dichromate plating makes it appropriate for indoor and mildly corrosive environments. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 5 units per purchase.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal require no specialized tools — compress the retainer wire and slide the pin into the aligned hole until the retainer seats positively. Verify the mating hole diameter falls within the 0.3000 to 0.3120 inch tolerance range before installing. Inspect the spring wire retainer for deformation or fatigue before reuse. Depressurize or de-energize any mechanism before removing or replacing locking pins to prevent unintended movement.
