A perifériacsatlakozó, often referred to as a peripheral connector, is a physical interface on a computing device or other electronic system that allows for the connection of external devices, known as peripherals. These connectors facilitate the transfer of data, power, or both between the main system and the attached peripheral. Common examples of peripherals include keyboards, mice, printers, external storage drives, and monitors.

The design and function of peripheral connectors have evolved significantly over time to meet increasing demands for speed, bandwidth, and ease of use. Early connectors were often proprietary and limited in their capabilities. However, standardization efforts led to the development of widely adopted interfaces such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), which has become the dominant standard for connecting a vast array of peripherals due to its versatility, hot-swappability, and increasing data transfer rates. Other notable peripheral connectors include HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) for video and audio transmission, Ethernet for networking, and various audio jacks for microphones and headphones. The choice of connector often depends on the specific type of data and the required performance.
