Looks like a book screw to me.
Zeagle book screw
Sex bolt
From Dive Rite...."The Dive Rite Stainless Steel Assembly Screws also know as "Sex Bolts" are used for attaching various accessories to a TransPac harness or to a hard backplate (such as lift bag pouches, suit inflation mounting systems and sidemount buttplates)."
Oxycheq.... "The Oxycheq Sex Bolt is a Stainless Steel Attachment Bolt for securing plate pads to backplates or wings to back plates and more. Two are needed for Wings and up to six for a Plate Pad."

Yes, sex bolt is the generic name for the male-female combo, but a Book Screw always has the large heads, and is what was in the OP's picture.
As noted above, male and female threaded pair fasteners go by a lot of different names:
- Sex bolts
- Chicago crew/bolt
- Book screw/bolt
- Binding screw/bolt

Sex bolts sound, well, sexy. Let's call them sex bolts.
