A connector component (102) is provided for assembly into a material processing torch head. The connector component (102) comprises a generally cylindrical body (104) that includes a proximal end (106) and a distal end (108) defining a longitudinal axis. At least two thread regions (112) are disposed at a radial location on a surface of the body near the proximal end. Each thread region includes at least one thread (114) disposed on the surface of the body. In addition, at least two non-thread regions (116) are oriented longitudinally at a radial location on the surface of the body (104). Se proporciona un componente conector (102) para el ensamble en un cabezal de antorcha para el procesamiento de material. El componente conector (102) comprende un cuerpo generalmente cilíndrico (104) que incluye un extremo próximo (106) y un extremo distal (108) que definen un eje longitudinal. Al menos dos regiones roscadas (112) se disponen en una ubicación radial en una superficie del cuerpo cerca del extremo próximo. Cada región roscada incluye al menos un roscado (114) dispuesto en la superficie del cuerpo. Además, al menos dos regiones roscadas (116) se orientan longitudinalmente en una ubicación radial en la superficie del cuerpo (104).
