Metric DIN 94 Split Pins (Cotter Pins) are common used fasteners that hold assemblies together. Made of soft metal wire
looped on itself so the two resulting tines can be inserted into a pre-drilled hole and bent to keep it in place. Cotter pins are
typically made of soft metal allowing for easy installation and removal. However, this also makes them poor locking
devices when strong shear forces are expected. Aspen Fasteners offers over 500,000 unique fastener products from
stock in inch and metric standard in a variety of materials and finishes. The following sizes DIN 93 Single Tab Safety Lock
Washers are available for immediate shipping from stock: Diameters ranging from M1 to M13 up to 140mm long in steel
as well as stainless steel A2 and A4. View parts by clicking on the following link: Metric DIN 94 Split Pins (Cotter Pins)

DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung - German Institute for Standardization) standards are issued for a variety of
components including industrial fasteners as Metric DIN 85 Slotted Pan Head Machine Screws. The DIN standards
remain common in Germany, Europe and globally even though the transition to ISO standards is taking place. DIN
standards continue to be used for parts which do not have ISO equivalents or for which there is no need for
standardizationThe ISO equivalent of DIN 94 Split Pins (Cotter Pins) is ISO 1234.
1) Mechanical properties of stainless steel for metric DIN 94 Split Pins (Cotter Pins)
Stainless steels can be divided into three groups of steel - austenitic, ferritic and martensitic. Austenitic steel is by far the
most common type (>90% of commercial fasteners). The steel groups and strength classes are designated by a four-digit
sequence of letters and numbers (eg A2-70) as shown in the following table. DIN EN ISO 3506 governs screws and nuts
made from stainless steel.
