FH100 Headed Straight Pins

SPIROL's FH400 Headed Barbed Pin has a series of barbs extending down the entire length of the pin. Headed Barbed Pins are a great replacement for self-tapping screws in plastic assemblies as Barbed Pins are installed into standard moulded (or drilled) holes, they install much faster than screws, and they eliminate issues associated with cross-threaded or skewing during installation. Unlike screws that resist back-out (or loosening) by being tightened to a preset torque, Barbed Pins are retained by the plastic backfilling over the aggressively-designed barbs. The head provides a positive stop and is also used to retain a thin component to a thicker component within an assembly. SPIROL's FH400 Headed Barbed Pins are available in metric diameters ranging from Ø2mm to Ø6mm and inch diameters ranging from Ø.078" (5/64) to Ø.250" (1/4) in low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel.

SPIROL's FH300 Headed Helical Knurled Pin has the same body style as the KP300 Helical Knurled Pin, with the addition of a head. A Headed Pin is typically used to provide a positive stop or to retain a thin component to a thicker component within an assembly. FH300 Headed Helical Knurled Pins have a flat head, however they are available to order with a round head (RH300) to meet specific application requirements. Similar to the SPIROL Series KP300 Helical Knurled Pin offering, SPIROL's FH300 Headed Helical Knurled Pins are available in metric diameters ranging from Ø2mm to Ø6mm and inch diameters ranging from Ø.078" (5/64) to Ø.250" (1/4) in low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel.

SPIROL's FH200 Headed Straight Knurled Pin has the same body style as the KP200 Straight Knurled Pin, with the addition of a head. A Headed Pin is typically used to provide a positive stop or to retain a thin component to a thicker component within an assembly. FH200 Headed Straight Knurled Pins have a flat head, however they are available to order with a round head (RH200) to meet specific application requirements. Similar to the SPIROL Series KP200 Straight Knurled Pin offering, SPIROL's Series FH200 Headed Straight Knurled Pins are available in metric diameters ranging from Ø2.5mm to Ø6mm and inch diameters ranging from Ø.094" (3/32) to Ø.250" (1/4) in low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel.

Offered with or without a head, Straight Pins are distinguished by their uniformity. The chamfered ends are more consistent than tumbled edges—making installation with automatic assembly equipment more reliable. Straight Pins are retained by compressing the host, not the inflexible solid pin. They are suitable for use in plastics for press-fit applications limited to those cases where the host material can withstand compression in the order of 0.05mm – 0.08mm (.002” – .003”). Straight Pins are often used to replace Ground Dowels in applications that do not require the tight tolerances of a Ground Dowel.
