A stacking interconnect for field modules: power, data, and mechanical retention through one blind-mate joint. Modules key so they can only go together one way, and a quarter-turn collar locks the stack without fasteners.
Most of the effort went into the tolerance stack: enough float for gloves and grit, enough precision that a six-high stack still mates on the first try.
