Core Pins
Mold plastic around these pins to form small holes, or use them to perforate parts. They have a flat head to fit into a counterbored hole. Pins can be machined to fit your application. They're precision-ground to tight tolerances.
M2 tool steel pins resist wear and stay sharp at high temperatures.

Ejector Pins
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.
M2 tool steel pins withstand high temperatures.

Plastic Blind Rivets
Corrosion resistant and nonconductive, these rivets are designed to join plastic, fiberglass, wood, and metal. They join material when you only have access to one side. A low-profile domed head creates a finished appearance.
The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range. Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side, and tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking. Joint strength is also affected by rivet spacing and hole size.
Nylon mandrel absorbs moisture which can affect dimensions and other properties. A tool for plastic blind rivets (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.
