Interstage of the UGM-73 Poseidon missile. First stage is on the right, separated second stage - on the left. In rocketry, an adapter is a hollow cylindrical [1] or conical segment [2] which provides a sound aerodynamic and structural connection, either between rocket stages (oftern referred to as an interstage) or between a spacecraft and the top rocket stage (referred to as a payload adapter).
The 1913 rail (MIL-STD-1913 rail) is an American rail integration system designed by Richard Swan [1] that provides a mounting platform for firearm accessories. It forms part of the NATO standard STANAG 2324 rail. It was originally used for mounting of telescopic sights atop the receivers of larger caliber rifles.

Originally developed for US launch vehicles in the 2000s to launch secondary payloads on space missions of the United States Department of Defense that used the Atlas V and Delta IV, the adapter design has become a de facto standard and is now also used for spaceflight missions ...
An automobile auxiliary power outlet (also known as car cigarette lighter or auxiliary power outlet [1]) in an automobile was initially designed to power an electrically heated cigarette lighter, [1] but became a de facto standard DC connector to supply electrical power for portable accessories used in or near an automobile directly from the ...
The system is much simpler and easier to use compared to other speed control methods available. However, the Dahlander motor has the disadvantage of fast mechanical wear and tear due to changing speeds in such a drastic ratio; this type of connection also produces high harmonic distortion during the shifting of poles as the angular distance ...
Although the plug is female, with a partially recessed center contact, it is still possible for casual accidental contact with a metallic object to short-circuit the power source. Depending on the design of the power adapter, it may react to a short circuit by shutting down temporarily, or instead by blowing out an internal safety fuse.
