MS24665 cotter and MS20392 headed pins.
Distinguish split cotter pins from headed, drilled-shank pins and review their documented successor standards.
// PIN IDENTIFICATION
Two different retention components
A split cotter pin and a headed, drilled-shank pin are different components. A headed pin may have a hole for a separate retainer; that feature does not make it a cotter pin.
| Item | Reference |
|---|---|
| MS24665 | Split cotter pin; successor NASM24665 |
| MS20392 | Headed, drilled-shank pin; successor NASM20392 |
// ASSEMBLY REVIEW
Keep the pin and retainer requirements separate
A drawing may call out both a pin and a retaining component. Confirm the full callouts, their materials and their dimensions together. A hole that accepts a retainer is not itself approval to change the retainer type.
// SOURCING DETAILS
Details to send with an inquiry
