A modular interface connector for coupling a prosthetic limb socket assembly to a prosthetic limb upright assembly comprises a base, adapted to fit within the distal end of the socket; and an interface cushion, having a proximate end adapted to abut the wearer's residual limb, mounted on the base. The base includes interconnection components in its distal end such that the modular interface connector can be releasably mounted within the distal end of the socket and such that the upright assembly can be releasably mounted to the distal end of the base and, in turn, to the distal end of the socket. When mounted in the socket, the interface connector provides an air-tight seal between the base and the inner surface of the socket to facilitate a suction fit of the wearer's residual limb in the socket.
