MAGNETIC ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

An electrical connector that includes a first part housing for supporting contacting elements each configured to conductively couple with an electrical power source. First part coupling elements are configured to move between a connected and an unconnected configuration. In the connected configuration, each first part coupling element conductively couples with contacting elements, and in the unconnected configuration the first part coupling elements are not conductively coupled with contacting elements. At least one biasing element is configured to maintain the first part coupling elements in the unconnected configuration. A second part housing supports second part coupling elements each configured to conductively couple with one of the first part coupling elements. At least one magnetic element i s configured to move and maintain the first part coupling elements into the connected configuration, wherein in the connected configuration electrical current can flow from the contacting elements to the second coupling elements.
