Compound Pin

If a higher shear strength is required from a connection than originally estimated, a combination of two pins can be used. The shear strength can thus be invreased by 35-40%. CONNEX Spring Pins, type S, should be used. the postion of the slots should be at an angle of between 90º-180º to each other.

Surface Protection

Connex Spring Pins made of material AISI 6150 are supplied with a lightly oiled black surface. Ground CONNEX Spring Pins are lightly oiled with a bright surface. CONNEX Spring Pins made of AISI 301 stainless steel have an untreated surface.

Special Surface Protection

Special surface protection demands can be met through phosphatising, zinc flake coating or electroplating. A possible reduction in shear strength as well as the danger of hydrogen embrittlement must ge taken into consideration. A customer doing their own surface protection should be cautious of this factor.
