An apparatus for locking a transducer connector to a transducer interface of an ultrasound system includes a sensor configured to acquire data regarding a position of the transducer connector relative to the transducer interface, a locking system configured to facilitate locking of the transducer connector to the transducer interface, and a processing circuit communicably coupled to the sensor and the locking system. The processing circuit configured to interpret the data acquire by the sensor and provide a lock command to the locking system to lock the transducer connector to the transducer interface based on the data indicating the transducer connector is engaged with the transducer interface.
