Release Link for use with the AR-50 acoustic release, TR-45 timer release, and TR-45-Popup timer release. LK-41-Ni is made with high nickle content wire alloy. Faster to release, but withstands less load (vs. LK-81-Ni). The nickle alloy links are prefered for reducing environments in the water column or near the seafloor where stainless steel may be subject to natural corrosion.
