Abstract: A connector includes a body that extends along a longitudinal axis from one end-face to an opposite end-face. The body has an inner surface and an outer surface, and defines a first raised block, a second raised block, and first recesses in at least one end face. The first and second raised blocks each respectively extend from the outer surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first raised block includes a first planar surface and defines protrusions that extend from the first planar surface. The second raised block includes a second planar surface and defines second recesses within the second planar surface. Each of the body, the first recesses, the first protrusions, and the second recesses separately defines a respective structural interface. Each structural interface is configured to engage with a respective corresponding structural interface of a component and couple that component to the connector.
