Friction Connectors
A Technic Friction Connector is a cylindrical pin with a bushing in the center
and a notch and lip at both ends. When placed in a hole, such as in a Technic Beam, the
connector was held laterally in place by the center stop bush and the lip. The original version,
introduced in 1982, has made from a soft plastic (possibly nylon) and had ribs that provided
a tight enough connection to discourage rotation. Later versions had a slit
in the center of the connector that compressed causing the ends to expand.
Later elements were modified to include various cross axle connections. |
