Abstract
An adaptive connector comprising a contact jack and a lamella comb, wherein the lamellae of the lamella comb electrically contact the contact jack, characterised in that the contact jack is connected in a mechanically inseparable but movable manner with the lamella comb. The contact jack can be pivoted relatively to the lamella comb with an angular range of more than 2 degrees while maintaining contact between the contact jack and the lamellae of the lamella comb, and/or the contact jack can be moved translationally relatively to the lamella comb in at least one direction within a translational range of more than 1 millimetre. Moreover, an adaptive connector comprising two or more adapter elements that are electrically separate from each other. Each adapter element comprises a connection jack or a connection lamella device at each of two ends of the adapter element, the connection jack or connection lamella device of one end being electrically connected to the connection jack or connection lamella device of the other end. The adapter elements are connected with each other in a mechanically inseparable but movable manner. Any of the adapter elements can be pivoted relatively to at least one other of the adapter elements with an angular range of more than 4 degrees and/or any of the adapter elements can be moved translationally relatively to any other of the adapter elements in at least one direction by more than 2 millimetre. Finally, a system comprising the adaptive connector and a counter connector.
