It could be a "thingamabob" or a "thingamajig" or even a "whatsit"
to my understanding, none of those words have the specific and interesting mechanical connotation..

True, those terms are general in nature.  If you are looking for a term that has a specific and interesting mechanical connotation, I might suggest "encabulator."
