SNAP male L bolt M5 x 17mm is the older brother of the SNAP male M bolt model with a head size of 17.2 mm and a thread length of 17 mm.
Combined with the appropriate SNAP female L components, a secure connection or attachment point is created. Ideal for typical M5 threads in bicycles or mechanical engineering.
Modern products require fastening solutions that combine high strength, ease of use, and durability. That’s why FIDLOCK magnetic systems are widely used not only in bag and accessory manufacturing, but also in transportation, medical equipment, industry, and professional gear. The SNAP Male L Bolt is the most powerful component of the SNAP series, equipped with a 17mm long M5 threaded bolt. Thanks to its high load-bearing capacity, automatic magnetic connection, and secure mechanical locking, it is suitable for applications requiring a strong, quick-release fastener.
What is the SNAP Male L Bolt?
The SNAP Male L Bolt is the male component of the FIDLOCK L-size magnetic system in the SNAP series, equipped with a built-in 17mm long M5 threaded rod. The design simultaneously functions as a fastening bolt and a magnetic fastener, significantly simplifying installation and reducing the number of parts used.
The model is compatible with various SNAP, SNAP Pull, and SNAP Push size L mating elements. This allows manufacturers to create a wide variety of quick-release coupling options depending on the product design. The mount is installed by screwing into an M5 thread or a corresponding nut, ensuring a secure and durable fit.

Features of FIDLOCK magnetic technology
The main advantage of the fastener The SNAP Male L Bolt features proprietary FIDLOCK magnetic-mechanical technology. Built-in magnets automatically align both halves of the fastener, ensuring quick and virtually effortless connection.
Once the elements come into contact, a mechanical latch is activated, preventing accidental opening even under vibration, impact, or active movement. The mechanism provided by the selected SNAP series mating part is used for disengagement.
This operating principle provides significantly greater convenience compared to traditional mechanical latches, bolted connections, or plastic buckles.
Construction with a 17 mm M5 thread
One of the key features of the SNAP Male L Bolt fastener is its extended 17 mm thread, which allows for installation in thicker materials and structures.
Mounting is performed through a 5 mm diameter hole using a standard M5 thread. The galvanized steel shaft offers high corrosion resistance, making the mount suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The wide head, approximately 17 mm in diameter, provides secure support and makes this model especially suitable for heavy-duty applications.
