Snaps also known as snap hooks or spring hooks. They are hooks with a spring snap in their ends to prevent the accidental unhooking of a rope, cord, or other target line. Snap hooks are a common but essential component in a huge range of industrial applications, from dog leashes to theatrical lighting.

We usually use snap hook to make a quick, reversible connection on a system of ropes, or to connect a rope or cord to another component, like a lanyard medallion or barrier post.

For snap hooks like DIN 5299 series, the size usually express in wire dia and total length. For example size 6x60mm, 6 is the dia of the wire and 60 is the total length measured from tip to tip and there can be minor variations of a few millimetres.

First, you’ll need to select the material. Kailipu offers snap hooks in several materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, nickel plated, aluminum, zinc alloy. Different materials correspond to different performance and price. You need to choose the appropriate material according to the other accessories you want to connect and the use environment.

Next, you’ll need to identify the size of the snap hooks you’ll need. Again, you’ll need to evaluate the size of the snap hooks that are right for your attachment. If your snap hook is connected to a heavier object, you also need to consider the working tension of the snap hook.
