#junction.connector__conjunction something that joins or connects
supertype: connector__connection__connexion__connecter__connective an instrumentality that connects; "he soldered the connection"; "he didn't have the right connector between the amplifier and the speakers"
subtype: contact.junction__tangency a junction where things (as two electrical conductors) touch or are in physical contact; "they forget to solder the contacts"
subtype: distributor_point__distributorpoint__breaker_point__breakerpoint__point a contact in the distributor; as the rotor turns its projecting arm contacts distributor points and current flows to the spark plugs
subtype: electrical_contact contact that allows current to pass from one conductor to another
subtype: short_circuit__shortcircuit__short accidental contact between two points in an electric circuit that have a potential difference
subtype: sound_bow__soundbow contact (the part of a bell) against which the clapper strikes
subtype: terminal.contact__pole a contact on an electrical device (such as a battery) at which electric current enters or leaves
subtype: anode.terminal the negatively charged terminal of a voltaic cell or storage battery that supplies current
subtype: negative_pole the terminal of a battery that is connected to the negative plate
subtype: positive_pole the terminal of a battery that is connected to the positive plate
subtype: tread.contact the part (as of a wheel or shoe) that makes contact with the ground
subtype: wiper_arm__wiperarm__wiper__contact_arm__contactarm contact consisting of a conducting arm that rotates over a series of fixed contacts and comes to rest on an outlet
subtype: joint junction by which parts or objects are joined together
subtype: ball-and-socket_joint a joint that can rotate within a socket
subtype: butt_joint__butt a joint made by fastening ends together without overlapping
subtype: butt_weld a butt joint that is welded
subtype: fish_joint a butt joint formed by bolting fish plates to the sides of two rails or beams
subtype: flexible_joint__hinge a joint that holds two parts together so that one can swing relative to the other
subtype: butt_hinge a hinge mortised flush into the edge of the door and jamb
subtype: strap_hinge__straphinge__joint_hinge__jointhinge a hinge with two long straps; one strap is fastened to the surface of a moving part (e.g., a door or lid) and the other is fastened to the adjacent stationary frame
subtype: tee_hinge__teehinge__T_hinge a hinge that looks like the letter T when it is opened; similar to a strap hinge except that one strap has been replaced by half of a butt hinge that can be mortised flush into the stationary frame
subtype: knuckle_joint__knucklejoint__hinge_joint a joint allowing movement in one plane only
subtype: lap_joint__lapjoint__splice joint made by overlapping two ends and joining them together
subtype: miter_joint__miterjoint__mitre_joint__mitrejoint joint that forms a corner; usually both sides are bevelled at a 45-degree angle to form a 90-degree corner
subtype: mortise_joint__mortisejoint__mortise-and-tenon_joint__mortiseandtenonjoint a joint made by inserting tenon on one piece into mortise holes in the other
subtype: dovetail_joint__dovetail a mortise joint formed by interlocking tenons and mortises
subtype: tongue_and_groove_joint a mortise joint made by fitting a projection on the edge of one board into a matching groove on another board
subtype: rabbet_joint a joint formed by fitting together two rabbeted boards
subtype: seam joint consisting of a line formed by joining two pieces
subtype: felled_seam__fell seam made by turning under or folding together and stitching the seamed materials to avoid rough edges
subtype: surgical_seam__suture a seam used in surgery
subtype: welt a raised or strengthened seam
subtype: toggle_joint a joint made by two arms attached by a pivot; used to apply pressure at the two ends by straightening the joint
subtype: weld a metal joint formed by softening with heat and fusing or hammering together
subtype: junction_barrier__barrier_strip__barrierstrip a junction unit for connecting 2 cables without the need for plugs
subtype: splice__splicing a junction where two things (as paper or film or magnetic tape) have been joined together; "the break was due to an imperfect splice"
subtype: thermojunction a junction between two dissimilar metals across which a voltage appears
