Has Technic stud pin ever been used like this in official set?

[Superkalle]

Does anyone know if this connection has ever been used in any official set, i.e. when a technic stud peg has been connected to a technic brick/beam and the "free" end connected to some other element.

the pin is used in the Modular Building Series to connect the buildings!

Hope that is what you mean?

Those are 'full' pin connectors. Superkalle probably means the one with a stud on one end and the stud is connected to the Technic brick. Whereas I do not know the answer, the first question that comes to mind is: Why would you not use a 'full' Technic pin connector there?

Are you sure that's not a full double-sided pin? Would seem a bit flimsy if it were a technic half-pin w/knob with the knob-end stuck into the hole the way SuperKalle posits above.

However, I don't really see the benefit of using the 1/2 pin w/knob this way. The only reason I could see it being used is to have one on either side of a 1x element w/hole, but you could use the technic 1 1/2 pin for the same outcome and it would be a lot sturdier - in fact I've done so.

So that you could put another one on the other side.. but then the question why you wouldn't just use a 3L pin.

I mean exactly like Rick has understood it. And yes, I asking my self the same thing - why not use a full peg. But for various reasonn I still wonder if there is any set that TLG for some reason (maybe for easy disconnecting) has used the technic peg with stud INSTEAD of a full technic peg?

[GRogall]

Yes, ok I see the difference, for some reason I have a whole bunch of these but don't know where from

Maybe some of the early SW sets?

As others have said, there is not much reason to do this when you have a full-width brick or beam, but it was done all the time with half-width liftarms in the 90s. It became less common after the dark gray 3/4 pin came out in 1996.

they are used as a stud in Café Corner (10182) in the Hotel sign!

Yes, they have been used, but only by half beams when 3/4 pin didnt exist yet, as far as I know. Its a totally legal connection!

I know it's used in some of the train sets to mount a headlight, this set is one I know of for certain:

You can see the part behind the clear-transparent round 1x1 plate.

@CP5670 or Zblj:

Do you have any examples of sets where it was connected to half-beams. I want to see it with my own eyes in an instruction.

Do you know of any examples where it could be used for think beams. Maybe if you want to fit something in the hole on the other end of the stud?

PS: You can probably figure out this has to do with LDD

@grogall and Brickaroo - I'm not sure you understand what I mean. I'm not asking if the technic pin with stud has ever been used (that I know), but if it's been used like my illustration in the first post!

Pulley wheel counts as a half beam? Should count!

Hm. semi-OK

There are tons of examples of the half-width case. It was basically used wherever the 3/4 pin would be used today. This and this are some places that come to mind.

It was used for a full-width hole here. This was less common but was still done in some Universal-type sets, where there were a lot of alternate models and they didn't use exactly the ideal parts for each one.
