Click Hinge is a connection using a recently developed hinge technology, the Click Hinge.

The connection is realised when a part with two fingerlike protrusions with small nubs in a semicircular radius is plugged into a receiver end. The protrusions have small spherical slice sections on their insides, with mate with small spherical slice cavities on the receiver. The receiver also has a small nub that mates with the nubs on the protrusions. Once mated, moving the click end will cause audible "clicks" hence the name "click hinge. Because of these protrusions, it is only possible to position the connection at one of several discrete locations.

LEGO has been replacing the older 2 Finger Hinge and Car Roof hinge types with this hinge technology. Many fans do not care for this change. They say that the inability to position at any desired location is a drawback, and they also say that the protrusions wear down faster than the older hinges wore, so that constructions get floppy faster.
