# Adapter layer animated icon

An adapter is inserted between two frozen model layers and the stack clamps onto it. Light: the adapter drives left four units, seats with a hit and a small recoil, and as it seats the upper and lower layers close in on it and let go. Strong: the adapter draws back first, drives in harder, rebounds off its seat and seats again; the layers clamp on each impact, the second smaller. The adapter stays inserted; the layers end where they started.
