130175-6P130 – Textron Aviation OEM Receptacle
Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
Overview
The Textron Aviation 130175-6P130 is a genuine OEM, flight-critical quarter-turn fastener receptacle, a primary structural component for the engine cowling and access panel systems of the Beechcraft King Air series. This is not a simple nutplate; it is a high-strength, rigid receptacle engineered to provide the secure anchor point for the corresponding quick-release studs. The primary function of the 130175-6P130 is to ensure a positive, vibration-resistant lock for the cowling, while still allowing for rapid access to the engine compartment for pre-flight inspections and maintenance.
Manufactured from a high-strength, heat-treated steel alloy, this component is designed to withstand the high tensile and shear loads of a secured panel in flight. Its integrity is fundamental to the aerodynamic and structural security of the engine nacelle.
Key Features
Positive Locking Engagement: Features a precisely formed cam track and detent. This is designed to engage with the cross-pin of a quarter-turn stud, providing a powerful "pull-up" or clamping force that secures the panel, and then positively locks the stud in its final, rotated position.
Rigid, Fixed Design: This is a rigid receptacle, designed to be riveted directly to the underlying airframe structure. This fixed design provides a solid, immovable anchor point, ensuring precise and repeatable panel alignment every time it is closed.
High-Strength Steel Construction: Fabricated from a high-grade, heat-treated steel alloy. This material provides the exceptional strength and wear resistance required to handle the repeated stress of the steel stud locking and unlocking, ensuring a long service life.
Corrosion-Resistant Plating: Plated with a durable cadmium finish to provide robust protection against corrosion from moisture and the harsh, high-temperature environment of the engine compartment.
Genuine Textron OEM Part: As a genuine factory component, it guarantees conformance to the exact material specifications, heat treatment, and dimensional tolerances required by the aircraft's original Type Certificate.

Aircraft Compatibility
The 130175-6P130 is the specified OEM fastener receptacle for a wide range of the legendary Beechcraft King Air family of turboprop aircraft. It is imperative to consult the specific aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) for final verification.
Primary Aircraft Models:
Beechcraft King Air: 90, 100, 200 Series
Applications
The 130175-6P130 is a flight-critical component essential for the integrity of the engine nacelle:
Engine Cowling Fastening: The primary female component of the quick-release fastener system that secures the engine cowlings.
Airframe Structural Repair: The specified replacement part when the original receptacle is found to be cracked, corroded, or excessively worn.
Maintaining Panel Security: A properly functioning receptacle is essential for preventing panel vibration, which can lead to fretting, cracking, and in a worst-case scenario, the in-flight departure of a panel.
Why Choose 130175-6P130?
The security of an engine cowling in flight is paramount. A cowling panel that departs the aircraft can cause catastrophic damage to the empennage or a second engine. The Textron Aviation 130175-6P130 is the only component certified by the manufacturer to provide a secure lock for the cowling studs. Using a genuine OEM part is the only way to ensure the receptacle has the correct material hardness and precise cam geometry to function reliably. The use of non-certified hardware in this application would create an unairworthy and extremely dangerous condition.
The 130175-6P130 receptacle is the stationary component in a cam-lock fastener system. The stud, which is held captive in the removable cowling, has a transverse pin at its tip. The receptacle, riveted to the fixed structure, contains a precisely shaped ramp or cam. To secure the panel, the stud is inserted through the receptacle and turned 90 degrees. As it turns, the stud's pin is forced to ride up the receptacle's cam, which performs two critical actions: 1) It generates a powerful axial pull-up, clamping the cowling tightly against the structure to prevent vibration and create an aerodynamic seal. 2) At the top of the ramp, the pin drops into a detent, which provides a positive lock that prevents the stud from rotating loose due to vibration. The material hardness and precise geometry of this cam surface are the most critical engineering features of the receptacle, ensuring a secure lock and a long service life.
Note: This is a flight-critical structural component. Installation must be performed by a certified A&P mechanic with experience in airframe structures, in strict accordance with the current Textron Aviation (Beechcraft) maintenance manual. Proper riveting techniques are essential for a secure and airworthy installation.
