NUT (P/N a103ds) - New Surplus

The a103ds is a steel slotted hex nut designed for aircraft fastener applications requiring positive safetying. This nut features slots through the hex body that align with a drilled bolt hole, allowing a cotter pin to pass through and lock the nut in place during operation. Commonly installed on Hawker 800 series aircraft and other general aviation platforms where vibration-resistant fastening is critical.

Installation requires torquing to specification per aircraft maintenance manual procedures, then inserting the cotter pin through aligned slots to prevent loosening. Follow IPC documentation to verify compatibility with your specific airframe assembly.
