Plastic pins are a nonconductive and nonmagnetic alternative to metal dowel pins. Use them as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

T-Handle Quick-Release Pins

A T-handle makes these pins easy to grip. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

Knob-Grip Quick-Release Pins

A high-profile knob is easy to grip, but fits in small spaces. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

Ball-Grip Quick-Release Pins

A smooth ball handle is easy to grip and won't catch on other parts. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

Choose-a-Color T-Handle Locking Quick-Release Pins

Use these pins for visibility or to color-code processes. For a more secure hold than standard quick-release pins, they lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

Clamp-Action Locking Quick-Release Pins

The shaft on these pins retracts into the head to hold thin sheets of material together. Pins lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

Quick-Release Pins for Access Panels

Attach these pins to a machine cover or access panel, then clip them in to receptacles installed in the enclosure for quick access. Pins lock in place until you release them.

Magnetic Quick-Release Pins

A strong magnet in the head holds these pins in place on steel and other ferrous metals. Use them for light duty applications and blind holes.

Spring Plungers

Knob-Style Retractable Spring Plungers

Retract the nose by pulling the knob.

Twist-to-Lock Knob-Style Retractable Spring Plungers

Lock the nose into the retracted position by pulling the knob and rotating it 90°.

Twist-to-Lock L-Handle Retractable Spring Plungers

Lock the nose into the retracted position by pulling the handle and rotating it 90°.

T-Handle Weld-Mount Retractable Spring Plungers

A T-handle makes these spring plungers easy to grip.

Twist-to-Lock T-Handle Weld-Mount
Retractable Spring Plungers

A quarter turn of the handle locks these plungers in the retracted position. The T-handle is easy to grip.

Ball-Style Weld-Mount Retractable Spring Plungers

A smooth ball handle is easy to grip and won't catch on other parts.

Twist-to-Lock Ball-Style Weld-Mount
Retractable Spring Plungers

A quarter turn of the handle locks these plungers in the retracted position. The smooth ball handle is easy to grip and won't catch on other parts.

Twist-to-Lock Plate-Mount Retractable Spring Plungers

Lock the nose into the retracted position by pulling the knob and rotating it 90°.

Plate-Mount Retractable Spring Plungers

Two holes in the plate allow these plungers to be mounted to a flat surface.

Slotted Ball-Nose Spring Plungers

Install these spring plungers with a screwdriver—they're slotted on one or both ends.

Press-Fit Ball-Nose Spring Plungers

Designed with a flange to keep the plunger from being pushed through a hole when the ball is depressed.

Press-Fit Long-Nose Spring Plungers

A flange keeps the plunger from being pushed through a hole when the ball is depressed.

Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Install with a driver.

Hex-Drive Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Install with a hex key for more torque than slotted long-nose spring plungers.

Slotted Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Slotted on both ends for installation with a screwdriver.

Rivets

Push-In Rivets

You need access to only one side of the material to install these rivets.

Reusable Push-In Rivets

A flexible shank allows these rivets to be removed and reused. You need access to only one side of the material to install.

Two-Piece Push-In Rivets

Access to both sides of the material is required for installation.

Plastic Blind Rivets

Corrosion resistant and nonconductive, these rivets are designed to join plastic, fiberglass, wood, and metal.

Machine Key Stock

Cut this stock to length to create the machine key you need. Straight keys, with a square or rectangular cross section, are the most common type of key. Install in a keyway to transmit torque from shafts to gears and other components.

Screw Nail Assortments

Quick-Drive Anchors for Concrete, Block, and Brick

Plastic Removable Pin-Drive
Anchors for Block and Brick

These anchors are also known as drive rivets. To install, hammer the pin into the body. Pry out the pin to remove.

Plastic Removable Screw-Drive
Anchors for Block and Brick

These anchors are also known as drive rivets. To install, hammer the screw into the body. Unthread the screw to remove.

Plastic Drive Anchors for Concrete

Also known as tap-in or uni-tap rivets, these anchors are barbed to resist pull out. Made from nylon, they're chemical resistant.

Screw Nails for Metal, Plastic, and Plywood

Also known as round-head Type U drive screws.

Clamping and Workholding

Screw-Mount Locating and Support Buttons

Mount through the counterbored hole with a socket head cap screw to support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side.

Spring-Loaded Guide Pins

As the workpiece pushes against the pin head in one direction, the internal spring pushes back to hold it in place for clamping.

Sealed Spring-Loaded Guide Pins

Sealed at the top to prevent debris from getting inside and making them seize up, these guide pins are a good choice for machining fixtures.

Inspection and Measuring Fixturing

Use these components in coordinate measuring machine (CMM) applications to raise a workpiece and reliably position it on a fixture plate with ¼"-20 holes.

Office Supplies

Push Pins

Fabric-Wall-Mount Clear File Holders

Slide these pin-backed holders in and out of fabric cubicle walls without damage.

Door/Hinge-Mount Holders

These three-way holders can be inserted under the door, over the top corner of the door, or over the hinge pin to hold a door open.

Non-Contact Push-Button Pins

Press push buttons, such as those in elevators, without touching them to prevent the spread of germs.

Circuit Board Headers

Use these headers to make quick, temporary connections to development boards and other circuit boards when prototyping.
