Major components

[1] lists some of the major components as :

HCS Tunnel Assembly, which provides the structural integrity and accommodates seals, alignment pins and sensors.
HCS Hooks, with 12 independently driven hook units to achieve the structural mating, seal compressions and interface preload. It also accommodates the Contingency Release Devices, based on pyrobolts.
Separation System (three separators), which generates the required axial thrust to push off the hoisting vehicle from the ISS once the hooks are opened.
Two Resource Transfer Umbilical, with connectors to transfer power and data.
MMOD Cover, a Micro Meteorite and Orbital Debris Cover.
Thermal Control, active and passive (Multi-layer Insulation over the MMOD).
