Did you not see my answer to your previous question about 'tomadas de pressão em 1/2" NPT'?

Re Asker's question below: "Do you think "connector" can be applied to all the contexts above?"
Yes, absolutely certain. It is the most generic term available - more so than 'tapping point' or 'take-off' suggested by other answerers - both of which imply the transfer of liquid/gas from one place to another (as in 'tomada para dreno') and that is not the case of, for example, a connection for a temperature sensor whose sole purpose is to allow a temperature probe to penetrate into a tank or pipe.
Whether you want to use 'connector' or 'connection' is more a matter of style than terminology.

Note from asker:
| As a matter of fact, I did, but I was really confused about using your suggested translation in the other contexts referring to many things. Do you think "connector" can be applied to all the contexts above? |

: Ok for electric wiring, but not in a context referring to "sensores de temperatura", "válvulas de bloqueio para" o "stand pipe".
