2. This device connects the component to a to-be-connected-to surface of the container.

3. This device connects the component to a surface to be connected to of the container.

4. This device connects the component to a surface to be connected of the container.

5. This device connects the component to a surface of the container to be connected to.

6. This device connects the component to a for-connection surface of the container.

7. This device connects the component to a connection surface of the container.

Here’s a breakdown of each sentence:

1. This device connects the component to a to-be-connected surface of the container.
   – This is acceptable, but "to-be-connected surface" feels a bit awkward. It clearly conveys the meaning, though.

2. This device connects the component to a to-be-connected-to surface of the container.
   – This is a little more awkward due to the "to-be-connected-to" phrasing, which is unusual in English.

3. This device connects the component to a surface to be connected to of the container.
   – This is clearer than sentence 2, but still sounds somewhat awkward. The meaning is correct.

4. This device connects the component to a surface to be connected of the container.
   – Grammatically fine, but "to be connected" without "to" may sound incomplete. Adding "to" makes it clearer.

5. This device connects the component to a surface of the container to be connected to.
   – The phrase "to be connected to" at the end feels redundant but correct. It is somewhat clearer than sentence 4.

6. This device connects the component to a for-connection surface of the container.
   – The "for-connection" phrasing feels odd in English. This would not be standard usage.

7. This device connects the component to a connection surface of the container.
   – This is concise and clear. "Connection surface" is a reasonable term.

8. This device connects the component to a connected surface of the container.
   – This could be misinterpreted as a surface that has already been connected to something else. It implies a past action.

Best Options:

• Sentence 7 is the most natural and clear: "This device connects the component to a connection surface of the container."
• If you want to emphasize that the surface is intended for connection, sentence 1 is also a valid option, though less smooth than sentence 7.

How about the following?

9. This device connects the component to a connection-object surface of the container.

10. This device connects the component to a connected target surface of the container（＊間違い）.

Let's review each of these:

9. This device connects the component to a connection-object surface of the container.
   – "Connection-object surface" feels overly technical and awkward in English. The term "connection-object" is not commonly used, and it may confuse readers. It might be better to avoid this construction.

10. This device connects the component to a connected target surface of the container.
    – "Connected target surface" suggests that the surface is already connected to something else, which could be misleading. If you want to imply that it's a surface designated to be connected, the term "target surface" is fine, but "connected" should be replaced with something like "targeted" or "to-be-connected."

Suggested Revisions:

• If you want to emphasize that the surface is the target for connection, you could modify sentence 10 as follows:
  • This device connects the component to a target surface of the container.
  • This device connects the component to a to-be-connected target surface of the container.

These alternatives sound clearer and avoid implying that the surface is already connected.

How about "11. This device connects the component to a connection target surface of the container"?

11. This device connects the component to a connection target surface of the container.

This version is clear and concise, and "connection target surface" is a logical phrase that communicates the intended meaning without awkwardness. It suggests that the surface is intended to be the target of the connection, making it a solid option.

I would say this is one of the better options, along with sentence 7 from earlier ("This device connects the component to a connection surface of the container"), depending on whether you want to emphasize the target aspect or just the connection.
