Keys and Couplings
A key is a component that fits into a keyhole, allowing it to be inserted or removed. It is typically made of a different material than the keyhole.
Couplings are mechanisms used to connect two or more components together, allowing them to move relative to each other. Couplings can be classified into different types based on their function, such as mechanical, electrical, or fluid couplings.
Mechanical keys and couplings allow two or more objects to be joined together and moved as a single unit. Examples include screws, bolts, and rivets.
Electrical keys and couplings allow two or more conductors to be connected together. Examples include connectors, plug connectors, and jumper wires.
Fluid keys and couplings allow a fluid to flow between two or more components. Examples include valves, pipes, and hoses.
Examples of keys and couplings:
A keyhole and a screw are a mechanical key and coupling.
A plug connector and a socket are an electrical key and coupling.
A hose and a valve are a fluid key and coupling
