Shackle Pin (D-Shackle) 5 mm — No name SZEKLA-5MM

The D-shaped shackle with a 5 mm pin diameter is a compact metal connector designed for joining ropes, chains, straps and other fittings in light-duty rigging and fastening tasks. Its simple pin closure allows quick assembly and disassembly, providing a removable link where a secure but temporary connection is needed. Corrosion resistance and surface finish vary by material; verify the specific metal and coating if environmental exposure or load safety is critical.

Advantages

This shackle offers a straightforward design that is easy to operate by hand without tools and provides a compact footprint for installations with limited space. The 5 mm pin gives an appropriate balance between size and strength for small lifting, marine accessories, camping gear and general DIY uses. Because it is a removable connector, it enables rapid reconfiguration of rigging and attachments while keeping components aligned and constrained during use.

Suitable for

• Light lifting and hoisting of small loads
• Connecting ropes, cords and small chains
• Marine fittings for non-critical applications (e.g., small boat accessories)
• Camping and outdoor gear attachment points
• General DIY securing, fastening and temporary joins

Key specifications

• Shackle type: D-shaped (D-shackle)
• Pin diameter: 5 mm
• Connector form: removable pin (clevis pin style)
• Typical uses: rigging, fastening, securing small items
• Physical characteristic: compact, low-profile metal link

How to use

To use the shackle, insert the pin through the eyes of the components to be joined and secure it fully by threading or locking the pin according to the shackle’s closure design. Confirm that the mating parts seat correctly inside the shackle bow and that the pin is engaged to prevent accidental release. Do not exceed safe working loads appropriate for a 5 mm pin connector and avoid loading the shackle across the pin in a way that could bend or shear it. Inspect the shackle for wear, deformation or corrosion before each use, especially after exposure to water or abrasive conditions.

Usage recommendations

Use this 5 mm D-shackle for non-critical, light-duty connections. For lifting, always ensure the working load limit of the connector and all rigging components is adequate, and replace the shackle if any signs of wear, pitting or deformation appear. If corrosion resistance is required, choose a stainless or suitably coated version and perform regular inspections in marine or outdoor environments.
