NUT, HEX, THIN (P/N a103ns) - New Surplus

The a103ns is a thin hex jam nut conforming to AN316/NASM316 aerospace standards. This steel locking nut secures threaded fasteners by creating friction against the primary nut, preventing loosening from vibration and thermal cycling. Commonly installed on rod ends, adjustment nuts, and control linkages where space constraints limit standard nut thickness.

Install by threading onto the fastener after the primary nut is torqued to specification, then apply safetying wire per aircraft maintenance manual requirements. The thin profile allows installation in confined areas while maintaining reliable preload retention.
