FEMALE CONNECTOR

A pneumatic female connector (often called a socket or coupler) is a component used in compressed air systems to provide a quick, secure, and disconnectable link for air hoses, tools, or other system parts. ?? Key Features Function: It is the stationary or receiving part of a quick-disconnect coupling set. It houses the mechanism (usually a spring-loaded sleeve or ball-lock system) that locks onto the male connector (plug/nipple) when inserted. Connection: It typically has a female thread on one end for permanent attachment to a pipe, manifold, or tool inlet, and a coupling mechanism on the other end to receive the male plug. Purpose: The primary purpose is to allow operators to rapidly connect and disconnect pneumatic equipment without needing wrenches or other tools, often with an integrated valve that seals off the air flow when the male plug is removed to prevent pressure loss.
