L-Handle Ball-Lock Pin MS17986-C422

Technical Description

The MS17986-C422 is a high-strength, aerospace-grade quick release ball-lock pin featuring an ergonomic L-handle configuration designed for positive-locking safety applications. Unlike passive friction detents, this assembly incorporates a push-button mechanical release that drives an internal plunger to positively lock two hardened steel balls into position, ensuring absolute retention against high axial extraction forces. Precision-fabricated with a 1/4-inch diameter shank and a 2.2-inch effective grip length, it provides instantaneous blind-hole locking for aircraft cowling steps, interior seat tracking, ground service lines, or flight control jigs without risking vibration-induced displacement.
