Abstract
This invention teaches a connector design that has the capability to safely disconnect the power flowing through the connector when misalignment of the two connector halves is detected. Monitoring contactors disposed on different locations on the connector and are made to carry or not-carry (depending the contact position in the connector), a pilot signal generated by one of the connector halves. The presence or absence of the pilot signal on the individual contacts is monitored by the other connector half. A safe and automatic power disconnects ensues when the two connector halves misalign. This happens well before the primary power contact disengage. The clever design detects not only in-plane misalignments, but also out of plane misalignments.
