## 🔌 Function

Passes through a drilled hole or the castellations of a nut and is splayed open, giving a positive mechanical lock that vibration cannot undo.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Nut found part-way backed off its thread
-   Legs of the pin cracked or broken where they were bent
-   Pin missing, with fretting or bright wear around the hole
-   Pin hole worn oval from a loose fastener working against it

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Never reuse a split pin - straightening and re-bending it is what makes the legs snap
-   Open both legs fully and check nothing moving can catch on them
