Abstract
A connector system. In one embodiment, the connector system includes a receptacle housing with a plurality of receptacle electrical contacts fixedly attached thereto, and a plug housing comprising a plurality of plug electrical contacts fixedly attached thereto. Each of the plug electrical contacts comprises a proximal end that includes a blade in a first plane. The proximal end is connectable to a first electronic component. Each of the plug electrical contacts further comprises a distal end that includes a blade substantially in a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane. When the plug housing is inserted in the receptacle housing, the distal end is in contact with a respective one of the plug electrical contacts, and the plug housing and the receptacle housing are rotatable with respect to each other in the second plane.
