This is a chain connecting link, often referred to as a split connecting link, C-link, or split shackle.
Key Features and Uses
Purpose: These links are designed to permanently or semi-permanently connect two pieces of chain or attach a chain to an end component, such as an anchor.
Design: It consists of two halves that fit together and are secured by internal pins. Once assembled, the pins are often riveted or hammered to ensure a secure, permanent connection.
Material: Most are made from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, making them highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for harsh environments like sailing or food processing.
Markings: The numbers visible on the link (like "8" in your image) typically represent the size or diameter of the chain it is designed to fit (e.g., 8mm).
