Dyna-Snaps make versatile wiring solutions a ‘snap’.
Why use Dyna-Snaps?
- No more futzing or fumbling
- Automatic, reliable connection
- Unmatched versatility and ease of use
- Quick installation, and instructions that make sense
- Proudly made in New Zealand
Stop futzing: Why fiddle and futz where a good connection matters most? Dynamo lighting is an investment worth doing right.
Dynamo lighting systems are costly. A basic battery powered head and tail light costs a small fraction of what a dynamo power system does, yet serious riders choose to invest in dynamo lighting because they want a permanent solution that they don’t have to worry about. The same logic holds for magnetic wire connection. Finicky friction-based connection points have always been the weak link in even the best lighting system. Not anymore. Dyna-Snap is the premium connection to complete any high quality dynamo power system.
Reliable, automatic connection: Dyna-Snaps couple automatically and pull easily apart.
Dyna-Snaps couple themselves as soon as they are within reach of each other, so you’ll never have to fumble with stubborn connections in tight places again (like behind a fender, within a fork crown or between the fork blade and a dynamo hub).
Since they are not friction-dependent, they’ll never bind together or work themselves loose. Even more expensive cage-shaped bullet connectors lose their “spring” over time and loosen, eventually to the point of needing replacement. Dyna-Snaps’ rare-earth (neodymium) magnetic contact surfaces are coated by three layers of nickel and copper (Ni-Cu-Ni) to protect them from corrosion and damage from impact. If the magnetic surfaces in your Dyna-Snaps should ever corrode or otherwise fail from regular use (even extended use) we will happily replace them!
Their ease of connection and natural polarity make a complex wiring arrangement automatic: a no-brainer. By using available reverse polarity connectors, and by installing similarly poled connectors in opposite directions, up to four wires can be coupled and re-coupled without question of what wire goes where.
Free at Last: Magnetic connection means ultimate versatility.
Where are Dyna-Snaps used? Anywhere an effortless and reliable low voltage wire connection is required. Common bicycle-related applications are shown below because that is the world where Dyna-Snaps emerged- but other potential uses abound.
(If you have another application in mind, please let us know. We’d love to hear about it!)
Travel bikes: Magnetic wire connections won’t seize, loosen, or fatigue and break– no matter how often they’re used. They’re perfect for S&S coupled, Moulton, Ritchey breakaway, and other seperable bikes. Wheel removal: Flat tire? No more fumbling around for an inaccessible connection. Just remove the wheel. Wires will detach (and later reattach) themselves. Gadget swaps: Cross compatible Dyna-Snap 3 pack allows multiple gadgets to share the same wiring. Connect just what’s needed for the ride, instantly. Theft protection: Find yourself needing to park where you would rather not? Quickly and easily remove that costly headlight before someone else does.
Dyna-Snap wiring options
Wire connection that is effortless and infinitely repeatable opens up a world of potential. Want to swap a headlight for a GPS? No problem- connecting either device to the same set of wires is a snap. Want the option of both? Split the output wires into four connectors and plug in one, the other, or both. Even four wires (like those going into and coming out of the headlight) can be coupled automatically in one go.
Easy installation: Installation is a snap.
Dyna-Snaps are easier to install than friction connectors. Because the connector bodies are already insulated, there is no guesswork in heat shrink placement at the contact points. Just slide the shrink up to the base of the connector body and heat for a perfect connection every time.
Responsible manufacturing: Dyna-Snaps are made by New Zealanders paid a living wage.
Yes, by supporting this project you are procuring a smart solution to a persistent problem in low voltage wiring. But you’re also supporting a mindset of social responsibility and reciprocity, not one of profit maximization through exploitative labor practices.
