Technic Connector 2 x 3 Ball Socket (60176)

Articulate Models with the Technic Connector 2 x 3 Ball Socket

The Technic Connector 2 x 3 Ball Socket (60176) is a vital component for creating flexible, articulated joints. Known for its distinct "hand" or "socket" shape, this piece features a receptacle for a standard Technic ball joint on one end and two angled forks with closed axle holes on the other. It is the gold standard for building sturdy limbs that require a wide range of motion.

Essential for Action Figures

This connector is a cornerstone of the Character and Creature Building System (CCBS), appearing frequently in modern Bionicle and Hero Factory sets. It allows builders to attach armor shells and weapons to a skeletal frame while maintaining poseability. Its "closed side" design ensures the ball joint stays securely popped in, even during intense play sessions.

Steering and Suspension

Beyond character builds, this socket is critical for vehicle mechanics. It acts as a durable link for steering racks and suspension arms in Technic cars and trucks. By pairing it with a matching ball joint axle, you can create smooth, multi-directional movement that rigid connectors simply cannot achieve.
