How it's used
Refers specifically to physical hardware components that join two cables, pipes, or mechanical parts together. It is rarely used for abstract connections between ideas or people, where words like 關係 or 聯繫 are preferred. In technical or DIY contexts, it is the standard term for any male or female fitting.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 接頭人, which refers to a contact person or liaison in a social or professional context. Using 接頭 to describe a person will sound like you are calling them a piece of hardware.
