Okay we literally already have a solution for this

It's pin/socket and plug/jack (or plug/receptacle).

Edit: To clarify, this is already in use in the industry. Pin/socket are the electrical contacts. Plug is generally "the part on the cable" and jack/receptacle "the part on the device" but inline jacks of course make that a little iffy. I'm all for plug to involve the screw/post/latch and jack to involve nut/anchor/keep.

Edit 2: No, that does not mean the entire industry is using it, but we already have a solution for it that a lot of (yes not all) manufacturers use (whether or not random sites that resell parts stick with it is another thing entirely).

Abstract
The bouba-kiki effect refers to the correspondence between arbitrary visual and auditory stimuli. Previous studies indicate ASD persons' reduced bouba-kiki effect compared to controls. This study examines the relation between ASD symptomology and performance on the bouba-kiki task. Twenty ASD participants and 20 matched controls were presented the bouba-kiki task. Autism-Quotient (AQ) scores and several cognitive measures were obtained for all participants. Results demonstrate that among all measures, only AQ scores were significantly correlated to the performance on the bouba-kiki task in the ASD group. Results thus support the existence of a relation between autism symptoms and performance on the bouba-kiki task, and are discussed in light of current theories.

I've actually had this thought rattle about in my head several times over the years. To me, in the simplest case, plug is associated with the pin, and socket with the hole, with the example springing to mind being the classic TRS style connector. This contrasts with connectors that have a recessed pin and extruded hole, like the coaxial F connector. For that case, one way would be to consider the plug to be the part that enters a void in the socket, but to my mind, it makes more sense that the pin is always the plug and the hole is always the socket. So to specify something like the F connector, you might say "inverted plug" and "inverted socket". For the category, something as simple as "connector" might be ok, and a device for connecting two similar ends might be a "(plug/socket) cross connector", or a "dual (plug/socket) (connector/adapter)". People tend to come up with their own names for such devices anyway.

Let's just call the pin part "1" (because it's a thing) and the socket part "0" (because it's a hole, or absence of a thing)

The digit 1 even resembles a pin and 0 resembles a hole

Master/slave never made much sense to begin with, and even less so with modern complex devices that send commands back and forth. Host/peripheral probably works better here, or primary/secondary, controller/target etc, depending on the actual devices.

When I used to teach computer science classes, I'd occasionally need to stop the class an apologize for the decades of ha-ha-it-sounds-like-saying-an-inappropriate-thing terminology and to hope that nobody was listening in to the lectures. So many racist stereotypes, so much terminology clearly kept because it sounds like heterosexual sex, and probably more.

because most autism research that isn't from autistic led journals is about how abberant we are and how far we have strayed from normal, because cures and treatments are where the private grant money is, because rich parents create trusts wanting to have easy lives instead of their perception of their child being a burden on their high performance career and keeps needing the more expensive nannies.

societal biases are strongest in people with "theory of mind deficits" who have been convinced they are allistic, so many autism researchers who aren't knowingly autistic treat us like puzzles. I'm sure there's allistic researchers, but most go into the field for personal reasons and uhhhh it sure does seem to be hereditary in many cases.

Also it's where the money is.
