Quick Disconnect Ball Joint 3/16" X 3/16" UNF Stainless Steel (21203)

3/16" x 3/16" UNF Stainless Steel Quick Disconnect Ball Joint

The 21203 is a stainless steel quick disconnect ball joint designed for mechanical control cable and linkage applications. It provides a convenient articulated connection between a control cable and the mechanism it operates, while allowing the cable connection to be quickly released when required.

Both the housing and stud use a 10-32 (3/16") UNF thread. The ball joint is manufactured from 300 Series Stainless Steel with a polished finish, making it a suitable option where stainless-steel construction is preferred.

The quick-release housing slides back against an external spring to release the stud. This allows the connected cable or linkage to be removed quickly for servicing, adjustment or maintenance.

The 21203 is commonly used with push-pull control cables, shifter cables, throttle cables and multi-carburettor linkage systems.
