A head gives these grooved pins a finished appearance and distributes loads over a wider area than headless pins. The grooves pinch shut when pressed into a hole, creating tension to lock pins in place. For the best fit, the hole should be equal to diameter (A). The end is chamfered for easy insertion.
Pins meet ASME B18.8.2 specifications for material and dimensions.They're made of zinc-plated steel for good strength and some corrosion resistance.
