bayonetkytkin

Bayonetkytkin is a Finnish term that translates to "bayonet coupling" or "bayonet connector." It refers to a type of mechanical fastener that allows for quick and secure attachment and detachment of two or more parts. This system is characterized by a cylindrical male end with protruding lugs or hooks that mate with corresponding slots or grooves on a female receptacle. When the male part is inserted and then rotated, the lugs slide into the slots and lock into place, creating a strong and stable connection.

The bayonet coupling is widely used in various applications due to its ease of use and reliable locking mechanism. In photography, it is commonly found in lenses, allowing photographers to quickly attach and detach different lenses from their camera bodies. This system ensures a secure fit and maintains proper alignment for optimal image quality. Another common application is in lighting fixtures, where bulbs are often attached to sockets using a bayonet fitting for easy replacement and a secure electrical connection.

Other examples include certain types of plumbing fittings, electrical connectors, and even in some firearm accessories. The specific design of the bayonet coupling can vary, with different numbers of lugs and slot configurations dictating the strength and stability of the connection. Despite these variations, the fundamental principle of insertion and rotation for locking remains consistent across all bayonet coupling systems. The term itself highlights its origin and common usage within Finnish contexts, though the underlying mechanical principle is globally recognized.
