Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / components
Italian term or phrase: comune
I was sent a list of components, and I presume "comune" must be a noun in this context but am not sure how to translate in this context!
"Foro di entrata dei cavi elettrici
Foro di entrata del cavo di sblocco
Fori di fissaggio a muro
Cavo di sblocco
rocchetto
Grano M5
Chiave di sblocco
Ingresso chiave di sblocco
Connettore
Fase
Terra
Schema elettrico
Comune"

Any ideas much appreciated!

common
Explanation:
In gergo (brutto quanto si vuole, ma è così...) si dice semplicemente "comune" intendendo un "filo" comune a varie uscite/entrate

potresti mettere "common wire" o "common contact" se dagli schemi elettrici riesci a capire a cosa si riferisce - altrimenti si usa anche solo "common".
