conductor/connector

How does Arabic distinguish between these two terms?
conductor = material able to carry electrical current
connector = a component that provides a physical, electronic or other type of link between at least two things, pieces of hardware etc.
They cannot both be موصل !

موصّل/وصلة
Whereas 'conductor' may be translated as موصّل as in مادة موصّلة للكهرباء, 'connector' could be translated as وصلة/رابط/طرف توصيل to clarify the difference in meaning.
