detachables

Things that disconnect

Detachables are parts designed to be removed from a whole—accessories, components, or sections that separate easily.

The term appears in fashion for removable collars, sleeves, or straps: The dress comes with detachables so you can customize the look.

In other contexts, detachables may be modular equipment pieces or anything engineered for optional attachment.
