I purchased several packages of various sizes last Fall. They varied the number of connectors in a package by size. I "think" I still have some in the packages out in the shop.  I'll write myself a note to check when I next go out.

I typically I just hear them called split nuts. They are widely available by that name in Hardware, electrical, and automotive outlets.

I've always seen them called "split bolt connectors." They've gotten much more expensive since the last time I bought any!  Just poked a bit, and this is the best price I've seen for the size I most often use.

Not a recommendation of the mfr or vendor.

I use them on virtually all connections to wire antennas rather than solder.

Me too, starting about ten years ago.
