push lock plunger - vendor name

push lock plunger - vendor name

push lock plunger - vendor name

(OP)
I have used  a hardware component in the past but cannot locate the vendor/mfr...I will try to describe it.

Metal stainless push lock plungers - this is a whole family of parts that consist of a stem with two or more retained ball bearings near the tip. The opposite end has a push button to allow balls to retract into the center diameter.
This way the part can be inserted into a thru hole and balls spring out to lock stem in place upon releasing button.    Any ideas on this?

Before I retired we called them "Detent Pins" You might try www.mcmastercarr.com . Another sourse I know that has plenty of information is:www.thomasregister.com. Good luck. Raul
