Quick-Release Pin

A quick-release pin is a fastener that can be inserted and removed by hand without tools. It often has a spring-loaded detent ball or a locking mechanism to hold it in place.

A quick-release pin passes through aligned holes in two or more parts and holds them together. It often takes a cable or lanyard so the pin stays with the assembly. The pin can be removed by hand without a tool.

This kind of pin is often made in stainless steel 316 for corrosion resistance. That makes it suitable for outdoor or wet environments.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance to confirm the material and dimensions. On receipt, check the pin for smooth operation and correct dimensions.
