snap-link
Gate-spring metal loop
A snap-link is a metal loop with a spring-loaded gate that opens to admit a rope or other connector, then snaps shut—a carabiner.
The term appears mainly in military and climbing contexts: Attach your snap-link to the anchor point.
Also spelled as one word: snaplink.
