Metric 05B Connecting Link is designed to connect two roller-link ends of the chain and is also commonly known as a master link. This 05B-1 connecting link uses a spring clip for securing the slip-fit side-plate and is manufactured to ISO British Standards, meaning that it does interchange with other manufactures. The overall width of this connecting link is 8.9mm, this is important to keep in mind for tight-space applications.
