DH2F Steel CDH Type Date Marked Pin Holder

In die casting tooling, this date marked pin holder is used to support small-diameter identification pins during part production. The CDH-type construction is intended for standard mounting, helping tooling builders maintain stable pin retention and consistent pin-to-location alignment. Because it is made from DH2F steel, it is suited to repeated use where contact wear can affect readability and positioning.

• Automotive die casting identification: integrates with standard die components to keep date pins aligned for traceability of batches and process changes.
• Consumer parts with tight ID needs: supports small shaft diameters (D = 6, 7, 8 mm) to fit compact die areas while still maintaining reliable pin guidance.
• Production control tooling: helps streamline inspection and record-keeping by ensuring the pin remains correctly positioned across repeated cycles.

Selecting this variant is appropriate when you need durable, hardened performance from DH2F and a holder geometry designed for standard mounting interfaces.

The holder uses DH2F steel, selected for durable performance in die casting environments where sliding contact and repeated pin engagement can drive wear. While exact heat treatment values are not provided in the specifications, DH2F is referenced as a hardened steel grade for reliable DH2F hardened performance, supporting long cycle life and stable dimensional behavior.

• Wear resistance: improved durability under repeated pin contact, helping maintain clear identification.
• Toughness trade-off: hardened grades generally increase wear resistance while reducing ductility compared with softer steels, so proper mounting and alignment are important to prevent chipping or edge damage.
• Manufacturing approach: typically supplied as a hardened steel component for machining/finishing to the specified D, L, and T ranges.

If you need a brief materials comparison: DH2F hardened performance is preferable when wear and repeated engagement dominate; softer grades would generally favor toughness but risk faster wear and identification degradation.

Use the provided dimensions to match the holder to your die casting date pin and the available space in the mold assembly. The key variable is shaft diameter D: this holder is available for D = 6, 7, or 8 mm. Select the D that matches the date pin you will use to ensure proper fit and alignment.

• Choose overall length L: L = 30 to 150 mm. Match L to the required embed depth/engagement length in the tooling so the pin protrusion remains correct for marking.
• Confirm head length T: T = 4 to 20 mm. Use T to ensure the holder head interfaces with the standard mounting area without interference.
• Fit and tolerance: because the specification lists discrete D options and fixed ranges for L and T, verify that the selected diameter provides the intended clearance/press-fit behavior for your standard mounting design.

Dimensions are not described as configurable within the page beyond the stated ranges; select a part number/variant corresponding to your required D and the needed L and T to satisfy cavity/core clearance and marking geometry.
