# Industrial Specification: Modular Connector System

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical interface system that securely joins modular sofa sections together.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 kN tensile load, 0.3-1.8 kN shear load**. Failure boundary: **3.0 kN tensile load or 2.2 kN shear load causes permanent deformation of locking mechanism**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of AISI 304 stainless steel locking pins (205 MPa yield strength) under combined tensile-shear loading**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Corrosion-induced material degradation from chloride exposure | 8 | Locking pin fracture at stress concentration points | Replace AISI 304 with duplex stainless steel (2205 grade, 450 MPa yield strength, PREN &gt;35) |
| Cyclic loading at 5-15 Hz frequency from occupant movement | 8 | Fatigue crack initiation at locking mechanism fillet radius | Implement shot peening surface treatment to induce compressive residual stresses of -400 to -600 MPa |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |

**Downstream Applications**: Modular Sofa Sections, Sectional Sofa Assemblies, Convertible Furniture Units  

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in this modular connector system?
**A**: The system uses steel for structural strength, zinc alloy for corrosion-resistant components, and reinforced plastic for durable alignment guides and sockets.

### Q: How does the locking mechanism secure sofa sections together?
**A**: The male connector bracket inserts into the female socket, then the locking mechanism engages to create a rigid, wobble-free connection between modular sofa pieces.

### Q: Can this connector system be used with different sofa designs?
**A**: Yes, the modular design works with various sofa configurations including L-shaped, sectional, and chaise lounge arrangements in furniture manufacturing.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 9001:2015 - QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
