English term or phrase: connector

¡Buenas noches a todos! Os escribo porque me gustaría realizaros una consulta sobre el término "connector". Éste es el contexto: "Connect the CPU fan cable power cable to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard". He consultado varias bases de datos, y la traducción que me sale es "conector". Sin embargo, un "conector", según la RAE es lo que se enchufa, no el sitio al que el "connector" se enchufa. Por tanto, ¿alguien sabe cómo se llama esto en castellano? MUCHAS GRACIAS! ;-)

Por que en ingles el connector es tambien conocido como socket, y un socket es una toma de corriente (donde se enchufa)

conector

Explanation:
La RAE tendrá que estudiar más y recapacitar.
Los conectores en electrónica se empatan normalmente siendo uno macho y el otro hembra. A ambos se les llama conectores en toda la industria.

zócalo

Explanation:
Aunque usamos socket en "español técnico" tratando de ser más castiza, he encontrado zócalo como término neutro y hasta le coloco entre paréntesis el término inglés cuando es necesario. El término conector cuando estamos describiendo una circuitería llega a ser confuso cuando tienes los cables y las tarjetas. Estamos hablando de conexiones de energía.
