Plastic pins are a nonconductive and nonmagnetic alternative to metal dowel pins, so they're useful in electronic applications. Use them as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

Acetal plastic and PTFE plastic pins are slippery, so they make excellent pivots. Acetal pins resist wear.

Polycarbonate plastic pins have excellent impact resistance. Use them where pounding and flexing could crack other plastic. They're clear for inconspicuous fastening.

PEEK plastic pins are an alternative to metal pins in high-temperature, high-stress applications. They resist chemicals, wear, and moisture.

Slip these pins in and out during maintenance or prototyping—they’re undersized to make alignment easier. Unlike standard pins, which fit tightly inside holes, these are designed to give you some wiggle room. Chamfered ends make them easier to insert. The breaking strength listed is double shear, which is the amount of force required to break a pin into three pieces.

Steel pins are very strong. They are best for dry environments.

18-8 stainless steel pins can be used in wet and humid environments without rusting, but they are not as strong as steel. Pins that meet MIL-P-21143/2 conform to material and dimensional standards created by the U.S. military.

Oversized to fit worn and enlarged holes, these pins work well as repair and replacement parts. Use them as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. The ends are chamfered for easy insertion.

Steel pins have good strength.

Also known as knockout and forged pins, use these pins to push parts out of molds. Pins are precision-ground to tight tolerances and hardened for strength and wear resistance. Machining is not recommended.
