Flux transmission connectors, systems, and methods

A surgical flux delivery instrument, comprising:

• an electronic circuit encoded with identification data corresponding to the surgical flux delivery instrument;
• and
• a connector interface comprising:
• a data signal transmission connector feature in communication with the electronic circuit to transmit a data signal including the identification data, and
• a surgical flux transmission connector feature that provides a surgical flux pathway for the surgical flux delivery instrument.

A surgical flux delivery system, comprising:

• a surgical flux delivery instrument comprising:
• an electronic circuit encoded with identification data corresponding to the surgical flux delivery instrument;
• and
• an instrument connector interface comprising:
• an instrument data signal transmission connector feature in communication with the electronic circuit to transmit a data signal including the identification data, and
• an instrument surgical flux transmission connector feature that provides a surgical flux pathway for the surgical flux delivery instrument;
• and
• a surgical flux transmission conduit comprising:
• a data signal transmission pathway,
• a surgical flux transmission, and
• a conduit connector interface comprising:
