Stainless Steel A2 Split Pin Cotter pin x2

Size 4mm x 50mm (5/32"  x 2")

 

A split pin (UK usage) / cotter pin (USA usage) holding a rod in place with a washer.

A split pin, also known in U.S. usage as a cotter pin or cotter key is a metal or stainless fastner with two tines that are bent during installation, similar to a staple or rivet. Typically made of thick wire with a half-circular cross section, split pins come in multiple sizes and materials.

The British definition of "cotter pin" is equivalent to U.S. term "cotter", which can be a cause for confusion when companies of both countries work together. There are signs that manufacturers and stockists are increasingly listing both names together to avoid confusion; this led to the term split cotter sometimes being used for a split pin.
