Mechanical Tube End Retention

IC Shipping Tube Pins

End-stop pins provide mechanical retention where the tube profile includes the corresponding hole or pin location. Pin selection must match the tube geometry, hole position and required retention arrangement.

Selecting an End-Stop Pin

Pins are a mechanical closure component. The correct pin depends on the tube’s end geometry and retention-hole arrangement, not simply the device family carried inside the tube.

Tube part numberUse the Malaster tube part number when available to identify the intended closure.
Hole geometryConfirm retention-hole location, diameter and the surrounding profile geometry.
Loaded quantityPins close the tube; filler may still be needed to control unused internal length.

Need to Match a Pin to an Existing Tube?

Provide the tube part number or a drawing/photo showing the end profile and retention-hole arrangement. That is more reliable than selecting a pin from appearance alone.

Use the end stop pin selection guide to compare needle, eyelet, and long bulb styles. Review the MC-1000PP pin puller for removal and ESD tube fillers for partial loads.
