- Length: 7/8″ (AN3-7 designation)
- Undrilled shank (A suffix) – for applications not requiring safety wire
- Hex head design – standard aircraft tooling compatibility
- Cadmium plated alloy steel – corrosion-resistant finish
- High tensile and shear strength
- Manufactured to AN / NASM6812 standards
Typical Applications
- Aircraft structural assemblies
- Control linkages and brackets
- General airframe fastening
- Maintenance and overhaul applications
The AN3-7A bolt is commonly used across a wide range of aircraft including Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, and experimental aircraft, making it a standard component for maintenance shops and aircraft owners.
Understanding AN3-7A Designation
AN3 indicates a 3/16″ diameter bolt, 7 represents the length in 1/8″ increments (7/8″), and the A suffix means the bolt has an undrilled shank.
Commonly Used With
- AN365 / MS21044 self-locking nuts
- AN310 castellated nuts (for drilled bolts)
- AN960 washers (standard and large area)
