Year 26 Convex Date Mark Pin Sets Plate Side Exchange

These Year 26 convex date mark pin sets are used in injection mold tooling where on-part identification must remain legible across production cycles. The plate side exchange style supports rapid service by allowing the inside arrow plate-side component to be swapped while leaving the overall pin set in place—reducing downtime and minimizing setup variation.

• Automotive connector and sensor housings: convex date characters provide high-contrast year/date stamping on small molded features; press-fit mounting helps maintain alignment during repeated ejection and molding cycles.
• Medical device and packaging closures: consistent date marking is important for traceability; the fast exchange approach helps keep the marking accurate when rotating between different indication formats (e.g., month/day digit modes).
• Consumer and industrial plastic date-coded components: the product supports multiple indication marks (plain, Year/Month, Month, individual day digits, and multi-year cycles), making it suitable for molds that must switch coding rules by production lot.

With options for inside arrow only, ring combinations, and outer diameter matching (6/8/10 mm), this variant fits common plate-exchange date marking insert layouts.

The provided specifications focus on functional configuration (plate-side exchange, convex date character format, and indication options) and do not include a steel grade, heat-treatment condition, hardness, or coating details. As a result, the exact material properties and target HRC are not stated for this specific part.

• Material & hardness: not specified in the available data for series 110200172220, so no reliable HRC/wear-versus-toughness trade-off can be asserted.
• Heat treatment: no quench-and-temper, nitriding, or other heat-treatment state is listed in the input.
• Manufacturing process: the product is engineered for press-fit mounting and plate-side exchange operation; however, the governing manufacturing route (e.g., tool-steel forging, machining, finishing) is not specified.

If you share the supplier’s material/heat-treatment sheet for this series, we can map the correct steel equivalence and justify the wear/toughness selection for your shot volume and character geometry.

Select dimensions by matching the pin set to the mold’s date marking insert cavity geometry and the required character indication layout. This series is offered with outer diameter D of 6, 8, or 10 mm, and the product specifies applicable outer diameters as 6, 8, 10 mm.

• Step 1 — Choose OD (D): pick the pin set whose D = 6/8/10 mm matches the date-marked outer diameter used in your plate-exchange station.
• Step 2 — Confirm indication configuration: ensure your intended indication mark (Plain, Year/Month, Month, Day 1st digit, Day 10th digit, Year 4 years, Year 6 years) aligns with the available component set.
• Step 3 — Match component set: verify whether you need inside arrow only, inside arrow + outside ring, or outside ring only for your plate-side exchange strategy.

Because the input does not specify length, shaft diameter beyond OD, or tolerance values, use your mold’s insert pocket dimensions and fit requirements to confirm press-fit suitability for the chosen OD.
