Abstract
A connection between a first component and a second component is provided including a first hole formed in a portion of the first component and a second hole formed in a portion of the second component. The second hole is aligned with the first hole. A pin includes a through hole having a pin hole diameter. The pin extends through a portion of the first hole and into a first portion of the second hole. The pin is configured to absorb a shear load applied to the connection. A bolt extends through the second hole and the pin such that a clearance fit is formed between the bolt and the pin. The bolt is configured to absorb an axial load applied to the connection. A nut connected to the free end of the bolt limits movement of the bolt relative to the first and second component.
